Lions Women’s Founding Partner
We’re delighted that the British & Irish Lions have announced that the first-ever British & Irish Lions Women’s Tour will take place in 2027 in New Zealand, the home of the current World Champions.
As Founding Partner, we're proud to have played a part in making this happen happen, allowing us to continue to champion and support women's rugby from the grassroots up, and to make a difference for this and future generations.

The biggest stage is beyond our reach, and nothing you say can persuade us we'll have a level playing field.
