Tesco back Wales Rugby World Cup team

Building on the relationship struck up between themselves and the Welsh Rugby Union during their highly successful ticket sales strategy for the World Cup warm-up matches in August, Tesco have offered the Welsh team a final shopping spree at one of their stores to ensure the players have everything they need when they are away.

“The Welsh team manager Alan Phillips came up with a shopping list of little extras the players required to complete their packing before the Rugby World Cup and Tesco have responded magnificently in offering the team £3,500 worth of goods,” explained WRU Group Commercial Manager Gwyn Thomas.

“There are things like dried fruits, sweets, a number of Tesco’s own range of low-fat, healthy eating products, including every popular deserts like rice pudding and custard, as well as a wide variety of toiletries.

“It is great to see the business sector backing an elite Welsh side and trying to make a difference when they are getting set to tackle the best teams in the world. These few home comforts will be greatly appreciated when the players are such a long way from home.”
