In February of this year, the famous watch company Tissot launched a casual
game on their official website. The game, entitled Tissot Tackle, was part of
their ad campaign as a proud sponsor of the 2016 RBS 6 Nations Championship.
Fans of rugby flocked to their website to beat each other’s high scores for a
chance to win a brand new Tissot timepiece.
The winner of the watch scored more than 260 tries.
