Buildcorp Gets Naming Rights to ARU’s National Rugby Championship

The Australian Rugby Union has announced Buildcorp as the Official Naming Rights Partner of Australian Rugby’s new domestic competition, cialis the National Rugby Championship.

The new competition, ampoule which was announced in December last year, capsule starts on Thursday 21 August and will be a 11-week competition which will see almost 300 Rugby players, including current and former Qantas Wallabies, Super Rugby players and the best young talent in Club Rugby, take part in the nine-team national competition.

The announcement of Buildcorp as the NRC’s Naming Rights Partner coincides with the release of the complete competition draw, which will see Brisbane City host the Sydney Stars in a first-round blockbuster at Ballymore in Brisbane.

Buildcorp is a leading provider of integrated construction services, with operations on Australia’s eastern seaboard specialising in construction, remedial building, interior fit-out and refurbishment.

Australian Rugby Union CEO Bill Pulver said he was thrilled to partner with a company which already has strong existing links to Australian Rugby.

“With the competition kick-off just five weeks away, we are excited to announce this new partnership with Buildcorp – a company that has been supporting Rugby in Australia for more than 20 years.”

“The inaugural year of the Buildcorp National Rugby Championship promises to deliver a terrific spectacle for fans and players after the Super Rugby and Club Rugby seasons have finished.

“Rugby fans will now have the opportunity to watch even more quality Rugby in the second half of the year, including some of Australia’s most exciting emerging talent.”

Buildcorp Managing Director Tony Sukkar said the partnership was a fantastic new development for Buildcorp, which complements the company’s existing long-term sponsorship of University Rugby in Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne.

“We are proud to be supporting this important new tier of Australian Rugby, which represents the missing link in the player development pathway from the grassroots through to Super Rugby and Wallaby selection.

“Buildcorp’s corporate values are naturally aligned with those of Australian Rugby, and our partnership with the NRC takes our association to the next level. More than just supporters and sponsors we want to continue to play an active role in building the game across Australia.

“There are an enormous number of talented young players coming though the Rugby ranks, and we’re confident the NRC will provide greater opportunities for those players,” he said.

Further Sponsors Announced

In another boost for the new competition, ASICS has extended its involvement with Australian Rugby and will be supplying all match day and training apparel for NRC teams, while GILBERT will supply all match day and training balls.

The competition is being sponsored by FOX SPORTS and Foxtel, with FOX SPORTS set to broadcast one live NRC match each week. This will form part of a bumper Thursday night Rugby line-up, starting with live coverage of the New Zealand ITM Cup at 5.30pm, a live NRC match from 7.30pm to 9.30pm, leading into FOX SPORTS Rugby HQ.

“Thursday is Rugby night, where Rugby fans can settle in to watch the next breed of All Blacks in the ITM Cup, the next wave of Qantas Wallabies in the Buildcorp NRC, and the best Rugby show in the business with the likes of George Gregan and John Eales on Rugby HQ,” FOX SPORTS CEO Patrick Delany said.
