"Really connected into the values of the game": NZR CEO discusses new sponsor

New Zealand Rugby have secured a new sponsor. 

They’ve partnered with American company Gallagher Insurance, who’s logo will appear on both the training and match day shorts of all our national teams. 

It comes two months after Ineos terminated their $21 million a year contract with the union. 

NZR CEO Mark Robinson told Mike Hosking Gallagher’s got a deep connection with the sport, having been involved with World Rugby and the English Premiership, as well as already being involved in NZ rugby at the provincial level. 

He says they’re connected to the values and ethos of the game, and they obviously feel that there’s a strong opportunity for branding, as well as business opportunities.
