Join David Campese and Phil Greening at The Crown in Twickenham for lunch on Sunday 8th November. On the day after England play Australia there will be controversy, discussions and match reviews that won't be heard anywhere else plus a raffle and auction in aid of the family of Raphael Sweeney, a former London Welsh player.

Raphael Sweeney will be remembered by many as a tough, uncompromising flanker who made his mark at London Welsh during the late 80's and early 90's. A Merthyr boy through and through, Raph made many first team appearances and captained The Druids for several seasons.

Raph was diagnosed with an aggressive form of motorneurone disease and lost his battle against the illness in 2008 leaving four young children. In November 2008 'A Curry with Campo' raised vital funds for the Raphael Sweeney Trust, formed to help Raph's wife Lainey and their family. It is therefore appropriate that the lunch with David Campese and Phil Greening on 7th November, the day after England v Australia, will include a raffle and auction for the benefit of the trust.

Tickets for the 2 course lunch, followed by a Q&A session with Campo and Phil, cost £35 (+vat) Contact Lucid Events on 020 8614 0818 or email info@lucidevents.co.uk for tickets or further information. 

Memorabilia has been donated by the RFU for the raffle and a Irish Grand Slam shirt donated by John Kelly will be auctioned.
