BEERS, BURGERS (RUGBY) BALLS

ALDI HAS EVERYTHNG RUGBY FANS NEED TO ENJOY 6 NATIONS FOR UNDER A TENNER

8.3 million people will be tuning in to see the 6 Nations kick off this year[1]– all from the comfort of their own sofas! Luckily, Aldi has the at home atmosphere covered for under £10, with everything from juicy Wagyu burgers, beers, snacks and even your very own rugby ball. Available on shelves from 4th February.

With games starting from this Saturday, shoppers may be wondering what to feast on. Well, Aldi has got the answer with some stadium inspired meals that will win with fans starting from just £1.99 – including its Wagyu Beef Burgers which caused a stir with shoppers last summer, being compared to the £600 777 Burger[2].

Available from 4th February Aldi’s fan favourite Wagyu Beef Burger (£3.29, 340g) offers melt in the mouth 100% British Wagyu beef without the luxury price tag. Pair with oozy melted cheese and a brioche bun to provide the perfect half time chow down. But shoppers will need to get in there quick to score these meaty mouthfuls as these burgers don’t scrum around often – available from 4th February, as with all Specialbuys, once they’re gone, they’re gone!

Top with Aldi’s delicious Specially Selected Caramlised Red Onion Chutney (£0.99, 310g) or a dollop of mustard and you’ve got yourself one tasty hot dog!

Wondering what your drink of choice will be? Aldi has a wide selection of match day beers.

Give Aldi’s Harpers American IPA (£1.09, 500ml) a try. This rich, tropical, fruity premium beer pairs perfectly with a large cheesy burger, making it the champion of the match!

Aldi’s Rheinbacher German Pilsner (99p, 500ml) is another great value addition for the rugby watching season, a crowd pleasing lager with a light, refreshing taste and classic, hoppy notes, this one’s bound to be a top scorer!

And of course, no sporting event is complete without the right snack by your side.

Match crunch time? Aldi is ready to feed the most delicious of rugby-ready snacks. Spice up your match-day with Aldi’s Specially Selected Sriracha Tortilla Chips (85p, 160g), which are the ideal pairing for any tense try moments.
