Rugby legend Phil Bennett was on hand with Martyn Cozens, SMD of Coors Brewers, together with the Millennium Stadium’s own Paul Thorburn – the former Welsh international and captain – to present the lucky individual with a year’s supply of Carling.
The lucky fan was local girl Ceri Rushforth from Barry who was at the match with her Scottish partner Martin Rudkin from Pencaitland, near Edinburgh. The couple were down for the big game from their home in Shrewsbury. Besides meeting the rugby legends, the couple were taken pitchside at half-time and introduced to the 74,128 crowd with the year’s supply of Carling delivered to their new home in Telford.
Ceri said: “What a house warming present, we definitely didn’t expect this when we arrived today. It was a great surprise for us both and softens the blow of Scotland’s defeat for Martin!”
Carling is the top seller and most popular pint at all the Stadium’s 36 bars, playing a major part in the great success story that is the Millennium Stadium. Carling’s MDUs “Multy Dispense Machines”, nicknamed “Joy Machines” by Welsh fans, pour 12 pints in 14 seconds, helping to quickly quench the thirst of stadium users and reach this incredible number.
