The Royal Bank of Scotland
PRINCIPAL PARTNER OF SCOTTISH RUGBY

RBS is proud to partner Scottish Rugby on all aspects of the game in Scotland including the governing body’s community activity, grassroots initiatives, domestic league and cup competitions and Scotland’s age-grade and national teams.

The partnership will play a pivotal role in helping RBS provide a platform to deliver increased support for the wider community, a commitment set out in the RBS Customer Charter. Increased support for the club rugby structure for the long term development of Scottish Rugby is vital for the strength of the game, and RBS will be heavily involved at local level to help communities promote and develop rugby in Scotland.

RBS customers will have the opportunity to be actively involved in ‘money can’t buy’ experiences and have access to other customer rewards in conjunction with our rugby partners as recognition for their loyalty.

RBS will also use its ongoing relationship with charity Barnardo’s to help them achieve key objectives while at the same time provide opportunities for children and new audiences to engage with rugby in Scotland. Our association will provide a channel to develop local connections between rugby clubs, RBS branches and Barnardo’s projects and raise funds required to support and enhance the charity’s work across Scotland.

Canterbury
OFFICIAL KIT SUPPLIER TO THE SCOTLAND TEAM

Canterbury of New Zealand was established back in 1904 when John Lane, Pringle Walker and Alfred Rudkin began producing woollen garments deep in the Canterbury Province of New Zealand. Before long, they were making uniforms for the army during the First World War, and they earned themselves a reputation for manufacturing tough, durable kit. So much so, the legendary All Blacks rugby team approached them to produce rugby attire in which they could play.

The rest as they say is history; Canterbury of New Zealand outfitted the All Blacks team for over 75 years and is now the largest dedicated rugby brand in the world. Canterbury continue to sponsor and manufacture kit for many high-profile teams including the Springboks, Scotland, London Wasps, Leinster, and Cardiff Blues.
