Our rugby partnership

Since 1861, we’ve been using our voice to campaign and act responsibly towards a fair world. As the first ever Principal Partner of the Women’s Lions Programme, we’re committed to breaking down barriers across society.

Together, we can make a real difference.

Levelling the playing field

Together with the Lions, we’re launching a feasibility study to investigate whether a women's Lions team could be established.

At Royal London we are committed to levelling the playing field through our partnership with The British & Irish Lions. During the 2021 Tour, we discussed some of the barriers the game faces and some of the great work being done to break down these barriers . We heard from the Lions and Springbok players on how we can continue to level the playing field.

Through our partnership we aim to make a positive impact on the continued success of women’s rugby.

Our rugby ambassadors: Claire Molloy and Shaunagh Brown

As part of our commitment to levelling the playing field, we’re proud to welcome our official Royal London ambassadors, Claire Molloy and Shaunagh Brown. They’ll support and champion our mission to break down barriers and be an advocate for women in sport.

To celebrate their roles as ambassadors, Claire and Shaunagh took part in a photo shoot with renowned photographer Rankin.
