As proud sponsors of Level Playing Field , we’re committed to breaking down barriers and creating opportunities for young players. Through our Toa missions on tour, we’re able to provide additional funding and give our teams the chance to make a direct impact—supporting players who need it most.

These are just two of the players supported last season — young rugby players who were able to thrive on and off the field thanks to this initiative. From fitness gains to life lessons, representing their families, schools, and communities has left a lasting impact.

Our last tour of 2024 saw a group head to Paris and London for a basketball and netball tour, combining competitive play with cultural exploration. From iconic landmarks to local courts, this tour was all about growth—on and off the court.
