A winning combination of rugby and music
The worlds of rugby and music unite each year at the Legends of Rugby Dinner. Together, we celebrate the biggest names in rugby on a glittering night of entertainment.

The event begins with a drinks reception, followed by a three-course dinner. Throughout the evening, there’s a chat with players on stage, an auction, fundraising games and sensational live music acts. After 11.30pm, the evening continues with the legendary and infamous Afterparty at the Karma Sanctum Soho Hotel. It’s a night you won’t want to miss!

About our 2027 Legends…
Philip De Glanville, 2027 Legend
Phil De Glanville enjoyed an outstanding career with Bath Rugby after joining the club in 1989. Over 12 successful years, he made 202 appearances, scored 53 tries, and formed an excellent midfield partnership with Jeremy Guscott. As captain, he led Bath to a league and cup double in 1996 and was also part of the side that won the 1998 Heineken Cup. He earned 38 caps for England after making his debut in 1992 and was appointed England Captain in 1996.
Since retiring, De Glanville has continued to enjoy success away from rugby through leadership roles in sport and business, including senior positions with Sport England, RFU Board member and their Senior Representative on the Professional Game Board, an RFU Council member representing Students, Hartpury College, and Hanover Fox UK, where he is now one of the company’s owners.
Marlie Packer OBE, 2027 Legend
Marlie Packer is one of England’s most respected and accomplished rugby players. A hugely influential member of the Red Roses since making her debut in 2008, she has 116 test caps, captained the England Women’s team in 2023, played in four World Cups, winning the 2014 and 2025 Women’s Rugby World Cups. Despite having her share of injury struggles, Packer was instrumental in many of the ten Guinness Women’s Six Nations Grand Slams England have won since her debut.
At club level, Packer starred for Bath, Bristol and Wasps before joining Saracens Women in 2017. She helped Saracens win three Premiership Women’s Rugby titles and has built a reputation as one of the outstanding forwards of her generation.
