'Nothing brings people together like watching sport in the pub, and, as we gear up for a huge milestone tournament for the Six Nations we're looking forward to witnessing sporting history.
'We've seen some truly memorable moments on the field in the last 25 years and we look forward to seeing our customers enjoy more moments and plays, similar to Scotland's astonishing fightback at Twickenham six years ago.
'We know that almost half of Brits (43%) are planning on watching the Six Nations in a pub this year, so why not put those plans into action and head down to your local Greene King Sport pub, where we'll be showing every game live across more than 900 locations. So, enjoy, with a pint on us.'
