A Lineout of Legends: All Blacks Royalty Are Coming To Twickenham

Rugby fans, you’re going to love this one! Keith Prowse is delighted to announce that All Blacks legends Kieran Read and Conrad Smith have been confirmed as the latest additions to the hospitality experience for the highly anticipated England v New Zealand clash at Allianz Stadium, Twickenham on Saturday 2 November.

Kieran Read

Kieran Read is a two-time Rugby World Cup winner and former All Blacks captain and will be our special guest in The East Wing. Read is widely regarded as one of the greatest number eights of all time. His exceptional ball-carrying ability, defensive prowess, and leadership qualities made him a cornerstone of the New Zealand team for many years, winning 127 Test caps during a stellar career that included seven Tri-Nations/Rugby Championship titles, as well as being recognised as World Rugby Player of the Year in 2013.

Conrad Smith

Joining us in The Lock is Conrad Smith, another two-time Rugby World Cup winner. A prolific centre played 94 times for the All Blacks, forming arguably the sport’s greatest centre partnership with Ma’a Nonu. Known for his silky skills, elusive running, and defensive solidity, Smith was a key figure in the All Blacks squad during a dominant era which included eight Tri-Nations/Rugby Championship titles and a series win against the British & Irish Lions in 2005.

The addition of Read and Smith to the hospitality experience in the luxurious surroundings offers fans a unique opportunity to rub shoulders with true rugby royalty, creating unforgettable memories at what is England’s stand-out fixture of their 2024 Autumn Nations Series campaign. Guests in The East Wing will enjoy the most exclusive matchday experience on offer, with a menu designed by Michelin Star Chef Tommy Banks, an all-inclusive bar, suite-to-seat access and of course the chance to meet and interact with Kieran Read. Meanwhile, in The Lock, guests can saviour an exquisite four-course English-inspired menu designed by 2 Michelin Star Chef Tom Kerridge whilst listening to Smith’s fascinating insight on the All Blacks.

Ozzie Wolf, Head of Twickenham Sales at Keith Prowse, shared his excitement about the announcement: "We are thrilled to welcome Kieran Read and Conrad Smith to Allianz Stadium for this historic match.
