Martin Corry or Lawrence Dallaglio may be the man who will ultimately raise the trophy in victory, but ordinary fans are being given the chance to get their hands on the cup even before a ball has been kicked.
Heineken Cup fever will hit London this month as we build up to the biggest battle of the club rugby calendar, when Leicester Tigers and London Wasps clash in the London 07 Heineken Cup final, at the 82,000 capacity Twickenham Stadium on Sunday 20th May.
Heineken are sending European rugby's greatest prize on tour and supporters from all over the capital will be able to get their photo taken with the trophy at pubs and supermarkets throughout the city.
