Our name is synonymous with rugby at all levels and it is exciting to have this renewed agreement with The Lions and to be working with them again on both training equipment and balls, and for the third successive tour - a unique and proud record for our company and our brand.”

The British & Irish Lions Chief Operating Officer Charlie McEwen, added, “Our association with Rhino Rugby stretches back to the 2009 tour and we are delighted that this is continuing. They are a genuine rugby brand and are renowned for the quality of their rugby training equipment.
