This is a unique opportunity for brands to align with a prestigious school sports tradition and connect with a dedicated audience. The sponsorship opportunities outlined in this pack ensure strategic visibility and meaningful engagement, positioning your brand at the heart of one of the country’s most celebrated schoolboy rugby festivals.
