Pride of Lions

Bournemouth Rugby are proud to support our partner Lyfe Health as they host a very special evening of international rugby insight right here in Bournemouth.

For one night only, Lyfe Health will be welcoming two former international players – including our very own coach and Scotland international cap holder Greig Tonks – for an exclusive live event ahead of the 2026 Six Nations.

As proud sponsors of James Kennedy, Lyfe Health continue to back our players on and off the pitch – and this event is another brilliant example of how they invest in the rugby community.

Expect:

🏉 Live rugby conversation & Six Nations analysis
🏉 Behind-the-scenes international career stories
🏉 Audience Q&A
🥂 Drinks & light buffet included
✨ Relaxed, intimate setting

This is set to be one of the standout rugby speaker events in Bournemouth this year.
