Both sponsors will feature on the men’s and women’s rugby jerseys for their respective matches against Cardiff University.

Their sponsorship will also see representatives presenting the Varsity jerseys to both the men’s and women’s squads ahead of the showpiece event, as well as dual campus digi-screen advertising.

The Welsh Varsity is a week-long festival of sport which sees students compete in over 40 sports including swimming, golf, football, netball, hockey and fencing.

The majority of events will take place at the Sport Wales facilities in Sophia Gardens on Wednesday, April 10, culminating in the men’s rugby match at the Principality Stadium later that night.

The men’s rugby match will be broadcast live on S4C, with kick-off at 7.05pm, and online via S4C Clic, Rygbi Pawb Facebook Live and S4C’s YouTube channel, while the women’s match which kicks off at 4.30pm will be streamed live on S4C Clic, Rygbi Pawb Facebook Live and S4C’s YouTube channel.
