Ouch.... Well... Thats life, They will find a new sponser.. Hopefully not Rabodirect...

 

[lance2010]

HSBC maybe

 

[kovana]

Woooahhh.. .. Even Better... HSBC would be foolish not to get involved with the RWC and 6N... The CASH COWS OF WORLD RUGBY.

Investec are the naming rights sponsor for Super-Rugby in New Zealand. Perhaps they see it as a more marketable product than 6N....

Ah well,
There'll be someone else to sponsor, and at the end of the day noone said "Investec Internationals", they said "End of Year Tour" or "Autumn Internationals" - As long as the cash is there we'll be grand

Anyone else find it ironic that a bank, of all things, is severing ties with an un-reputable organisation?
