Sale Sharks Rugby Club and key partner, Together, will host a Japanese-themed brunch in Manchester to celebrate the start of the 2019 Rugby World Cup.
Taking place on September 26, at Leaf on Portland Street in the city centre, attendees include many of the club’s current players and partners, and special guest, Sky Sports presenter James Cooper.
Sharks legend and former England international Mark Cueto is set to co-host the event, which falls within the Business Club offering, with director of rugby Steve Diamond and Sharks wing Chris Ashton. All three will be involved in an interactive Q&A session; offering insight into the upcoming Premiership Rugby season.
During the event, there will be a live screening of the England v USA match, featuring Tom Curry and Mark Wilson for England going head-to-head with Sharks team-mate AJ MacGinty for the USA.
Mark Cueto, the Sharks commercial director, said: “We are all looking forward to the first Business Club event of the year, especially as it involves a live screening with our club sponsors, partners and players.”
