Henry Cavill to be special guest at Siam Cup clash

Superman actor Henry Cavill will be the VIP guest at Jersey RFC's annual Siam Cup clash against Guernsey on May 2nd.

He will be there as an Ambassador for the Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust, which is the focus of a major fund-raising day coinciding with the end of season fixture.

The famous Jersey actor was announced as Durrell's first-ever Ambassador last August and agreed to support the work of Durrell both on his home island and globally.

Cavill will be involved in a busy day that will include charity auctions for items such as exclusive tours of the Durrell Wildlife Park, signed prints and rare merchandise, a bucket collection and a chance to meet supporters.

Being a Rugby fan and someone who is keen on protecting the wildlife of this world (rugby players included) what better place to be than at the Siam Cup with Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust?

It sounds like it’s going to be a fantastic event! So I hope to see you all there.

You'll find me about the grounds and clubhouse throughout the day, hopefully with a pint in hand!

– Henry Cavill

The Siam Cup's history dates back to 1920 and the trophy is competed for annually as the finale to the rugby season in the Channel Islands.

This year's event will feature four matches as the Caesareans host their Sarnian rivals in three men's matches, 1st team, 2nd team and Veterans, along with the Ladies Siam.

We've been hoping that Henry would be able to find room in his busy schedule to make it back to his home rugby club.

We're anticipating a big crowd, a fantastic atmosphere and the chance to raise some serious funds for the Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust, a cause that is very close to his heart.

– Bill Dempsey, Jersey RFC Chairman
