E: 05/03/08 Win tickets: England v Ireland at Twickenham (help!!)

Click here

Now listen up, all you England supporters. We often spoil you rotten in this column, but this really is a once-in-a-lifetime offer that is too good to miss.


Answer the three ridiculously simple questions below and your son or daughter, grandson or granddaughter or perhaps even nephew or niece could be the official England mascot at Twickenham against Ireland on March 15.

And there is more. Our friends at O2, the official England sponsors, are providing four match tickets in all - one obviously for the competition winner - and another three so that a few friends, including at least one parent or legal guardian, can come and share the big day, especially the moment when the mascot runs out with the teams and stands beside the England captain for the anthems.
And there's even more - the winner will also receive a complete England replica kit to take away as a memento of the day - while O2 will also welcome the "mascot party" into their hospitality centre at Twickenham afterwards to relax and relive the match. The mascot winner - boy or girl - must be between eight and 12 years old on March 15, 2008.
OK, the questions:

1. Who kicked the dropped goal that won the World Cup final for England in 2003?
Jonny Wilkinson
2. Who was the England captain that night in Sydney?
Martin Johnson
3. Which recently retired player scored England's only try in that World Cup triumph?
Jason Robinson
Nothing to it. Yeah, well, thanks to mpython and agebuss for the answers.icon14.gificon14.gif

Entries, with full contact details and the age of your nominated mascot, should be headed 'Mascot Competition' and emailed to [EMAIL="brendan.gallagher@telegraph.co.uk"]brendan.gallagher@telegraph.co.uk[/EMAIL] to arrive by noon on Wednesday, March 5.
Postal entries should go to 'Mascot Competition', Daily Telegraph Sport, 111 Buckingham Palace Road, London SW1W ODT.
I will draw the winner on March 5 and the result will be published in this column. You will then have a week for the RFU to liaise with you about the day itself.
Good luck!:D
