Premiership Rugby, which has been sponsored by British insurer Aviva since 2010, will have a new title sponsor – and reports say it’s another insurance big shot.
While the English professional rugby union competition has suggested it is close to unveiling Aviva’s successor, it did not offer further information.
“Premiership Rugby is at an advanced stage of confirming our title partner for the start of the 2018-19 season,” a Premiership Rugby spokesperson was quoted as saying in a statement. “We can’t comment on the names of any companies who are part of this process.”
Meanwhile, according to the report, next year’s April 06 match is likely to be between Sale and Harlequins – with New Jersey’s Red Bull Arena also a possible venue.
