With England rugby players still operating with COVID restrictions during the Guinness Six Nations, O2’s 5G mobile network was able to project Ellis Genge, Jack Nowell and Henry Slade as 4k holograms to surprise a group of schoolchildren with a ‘world first’ virtual rugby PE lesson.
Since the outbreak of the pandemic in 2020, England Rugby players have had to operate under COVID restrictions, meaning that they have been unable to meet fans and the British public in person.
So ahead of England’s crunch game with Ireland at Twickenham on Saturday 12 March, O2 teamed up with the England men’s rugby team to give a group of schoolchildren in Bristol a PE lesson they’d never forget.
