Company Special: Sports For All: Land Rover supports youth rugby
Rugby's most prestigious prize, the Webb Ellis Cup, was in Shanghai for two days as part of the Rugby World Cup trophy tour. The famous trophy's appearance at the Shanghai Rugby Football Club was backed by British car manufacturer Land Rover. The car brand is a worldwide partner of the 2015 Rugby World Cup and a driving force behind the increase in popularity of rugby among young people in China.
At the Shanghai event, Rugby World Cup winner and Land Rover Global Ambassador Lawrence Dallaglio shared his rugby experiences and stories and explained what the game meant to him.
Rugby requires great power, agility and dynamism, which are characteristics that define the Land Rover brand and its series of rugged all-terrain vehicles. Land Rover's philosophy is built around embracing life's toughest challenges and the company has tackled rugby at every level for the past 20 years, from the pinnacle of the 2015 World Cup down to entry level games in China.
