Rhino, which supplies contact and training equipment for rugby, has been appointed as an Official Supplier to The British & Irish Lions 2013 Australia Tour.
As with the Lions 2009 Tour to South Africa, Rhino will be playing a dual role.
The Somerset-based company is to supply not only the training equipment which the squad will use at each training venue in the UK & Ireland, Hong Kong and Australia, but also the Official Training Ball and commemorative ball collection for the Tour.
Rhino Rugby CEO Reg Clark said: "We are thrilled to once more be a part of The Lions family for this Tour and are pleased to note the continuity in terms of personnel and other Tour sponsors. We are looking forward very much to working with them all again."
