Major pub chains to give away free pints at over 800 sites across the UK this weekend
RUGBY fans can get their hands on free pints this weekend to celebrate the Six Nations kick-off.
Today over 800 pubs across the UK will be hanging out free beer - but you need to remember the secret password.
Greene King has teamed up with former England rugby star Danny Care to mark 25 years of the Guinness Six Nations tournament.
To claim your free cold one, head to the bar and say: "Space for a pint?".
The offer includes Greene King IPA, Level Head, Flint Eye and Old Speckled Hen.
For those who aren't lovers of beer or are booze free, there are free cans and bottles of non/low alcohol and soft drinks up for grabs.

After claiming your free drink, you will be given a stamp by the bar staff.
Half of Brits will be heading to pubs up and down the country to watch the Six Nations.
Michelle West, Head of Sports Marketing at Greene King said: “We know what our rugby-loving Greene King guests value, and that’s the welcoming pub atmosphere on game day, where they can settle in with friends and family and enjoy the tournament while feeling the excitement of the competition building up."
Danny, who retired from international rugby last year, said: “It’ll be strange watching the England boys from the sidelines this time, but I believe they’re building slowly under Steve Borthwick and they’re in for a strong tournament.
"Ireland under Andy Farrell have been the team to beat alongside France in the last couple of years and they’ll be hard to stop again, but I can see England springing a few surprises this year!”
In March 2024 he announced his retirement after winning 101 caps for England over his career.

“After a lot of reflection over the past few months, the time feels right for myself and team to retire from international rugby. The past 12 months have been arguably my favourite, making memories that my family and I will cherish and remember forever.
“I’m unbelievably proud to be English and to have had the privilege to represent this amazing country over the past 16 years.
“The team is in a really exciting place and there are some incredible young 9’s out there that I can’t wait to watch and support how they take the team forward.
“To [head coach] Steve [Borthwick], [captain] Jamie [George], the coaches and the whole back room team staff, thank you for believing in me. I know this team is going to go on to do unbelievable things.”
