2XU will partner with Rugby Australia in a three-year deal that will see the nation’s top rugby talent train, compete and recover in the world’s leading compression.
This involves similar arrangements with the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS), Basketball Australia, Saracens FC, Life Time Fitness and USA Triathlon.
The agreement will see the Qantas Wallabies and both the men’s and women’s Rugby Sevens teams train, perform and recover in 2XU compression as they chase continued international success.
2XU Global CEO Paul Higgins said he was looking forward to seeing Australia’s best rugby players in 2XU compression in the lead-up to major international events including the 2019 Rugby World Cup.
“Our mission is to help athletes of all abilities train, perform and recover at their peak, and we’re excited to now extend this support to the nation’s top rugby talent,” he said.
“2XU supports leading athletes and teams across a range of sports worldwide, but as an Australian company we’re especially proud to partner with Rugby Australia and to help drive their success on the international stage."
The contract follows the lacklustre launch of its recent Kanye West collaboration.
