To celebrate the partnership the worlds leading points scorer and MasterCard ambassador fine-tuned his kicking on the River Thames by kicking at Londons biggest set of rugby posts, Tower Bridge.

MasterCard will be the Preferred Card and Official Payment System of the highly anticipated tournament, which takes place in England and Wales between 18 September and 31 October.

Brett Gosper, Rugby World Cup Managing Director said, Asia is one of the fastest-growing rugby markets and with 60% of the world's youth is a major focus for a sport that continues to reach out, engage and inspire the next generation of players and fans. Boosted by record investment by the IRB thanks to the success of Rugby World Cup and Rugby Sevens' inclusion in the Olympic Games, participation in China has grown by 30% in the past three years, with Sri Lanka and India also on strong growth curves."

As part of the agreement, MasterCard secures a comprehensive rights and benefits package that allows the company to deliver value to customer financial institutions, merchants and cardholders, including the ability to access Priceless experiences linked to Rugby World Cup 2015.

Dan Carter said, Kicking from the middle of the River Thames was special but the ultimate priceless experience will be pulling on my All Blacks jersey at Rugby World Cup 2015. Im really looking forward to working with MasterCard to give priceless experiences to fans for Rugby World Cup.
