Canterbury of New Zealand is pleased to announce a new partnership with The Rugby Breakdown.

 

“We are delighted to announce this new partnership with The Rugby Breakdown. Editor-in-chief Jackie Finlan has been doing a fine job covering women’s rugby of all competitive levels across the United States. We aim to support Jackie’s commitment and vision of increasing the exposure and coverage of women’s rugby and providing useful online resources for those who follow or involved in women’s rugby. Jackie has already published a wide range of quality rugby news and content and we are excited to support the The Rugby Breakdown with new initiatives through 2017 and beyond.” – Commented Robbie Flynn, CEO Canterbury North America 

 

“I’m excited to align with a company that is so prevalently invested in the growth of U.S. rugby,” said Jackie Finlan, editor-in-chief of The Rugby Breakdown. “The site produces news specific to the women’s game, all in the hopes of developing a well informed, connected constituency. Canterbury’s support will deepen and enrich the site’s reach, and that’s invaluable, especially as The Rugby Breakdown moves into its first fall season of coverage.”

 

Canterbury supports additional rugby news entities in the states, but this is the first female-oriented outlet to join its lineup. The partnership comes on the heels of the USA Women’s 7s team’s fifth-place finish at the Olympics; the continual addition of NCAA varsity programs; increasing number of high school and collegiate All-American fixtures; and the general uptick in player participation.
