Emirates and Ben Foden will be hiding a flag in Brighton tomorrow and sharing clues on social media for fans to follow.

Open to 14-16-year-olds, the competition will give the local rugby stars of tomorrow the chance to win the once-in-a-lifetime experience of leading a team out of the tunnel at one of the Rugby World Cup 2015 matches being held at the AMEX Stadium.

Hopefuls will need to uncover the photographic clues shared on Emirates Facebook, Twitter or Instagram and find the flag in Brighton between 9am-9pm.

Once located, entrants need to upload a flag selfie, using the #EmiratesFlag to be in with a chance to win.

Each valid entrant will also be entered into a draw to win the ultimate honour of leading out one of the world’s best teams for the final at Twickenham on October 31.

Ben Foden said: “You never forget the first time you walk out with your team through the tunnel into a stadium packed full of supporters, especially for an international fixture on your home turf.

“It is open to 14-16-year-olds and we are trying to encourage young people in sport.
