EMBRACE THE IMPOSSIBLE
We are proud to be a Worldwide Partner of the Rugby World Cup 2023.
FORGED IN HISTORY, DESTINED FOR GREATNESS
Rugby and Defender have a deep connection. We are cast from the same mould, made for strength, durability and versatility.
Rugby demands the same level of endurance that Defender embodies. Both represent the spirit of adventure and an unwavering commitment to excellence – a perfect match for those who seek to push boundaries, on and off the field.
Together we celebrate the determination and resilience of the human spirit. Together we embrace the impossible.
ADVENTUROUS HEARTS, MAKING A DIFFERENCE
Celebrating those who know the value of community. Of making a difference.
Honoured on the world’s stage, our ‘Defenders of Tomorrow’ joined the teams walking out onto the pitches at the Women’s Rugby World Cup. Our search continues ahead of the tournament in France later this year.
Here are some of the stories about how these unstoppable young people have achieved the exceptional in their communities.
JACK
When he was just 10 years old Jack launched a campaign ‘A Fiver for a Farmer’ to help agricultural families struggling after a devastating drought in Australia. Four years later his kindness is still helping others, having raised $2.1m for Australians experiencing hardship due to natural disasters. At 14, Jack is a true game changer, showing what it means to be a 'Defender of Tomorrow'.
FRANCESCA
At school, Francesca regularly helps out as a 'Playground Peer Monitor' and a 'Transition Buddy' for new pupils. She has also started a 'surprise and delight' letterbox art club, delivering kind messages and pictures to homes in her neighbourhood – her way of bringing a little sunshine to others.

BOUNDLESS INNOVATION, ENDLESS ADVENTURE
Driving into undiscovered territory, carving the trail for others to follow.
DRIVEN BY SUSTAINABILITY
It’s not just the pitches that will be green.
As an official partner of the Under-20 Championship and the Rugby World Cup 2023, we will be providing a fleet of 200 plug-in electric hybrid (PHEV) vehicles to chauffer VIPs and referees between the venues.
ALWAYS IN CONTROL
Putting the power of electrification in your hands.
This fleet of electric hybrid vehicles will also use our innovative InControl system, which will optimise charging, track the vehicles’ range and measure the reduction in emissions from the latest generation of electric hybrid engines.
