Robert Walters Japan has finalised an official sponsorship agreement with the Japan Rugby Football Union. Starting from 1st April 2016, Robert Walters Japan, will be the official sponsor for the Japanese National Rugby Union team, National Rugby Sevens team, and junior teams including the National Under Twenties Rugby Union team.

The agreement is effective for four years until 31st March 2020, and covers the national rugby union teams for men’s fifteens and sevens.

Robert Walters Japan will continue to support Japanese national representatives by renewing sponsorship agreements that have been in effect since 2014.

Managing Director, David Swan commented:

“As a company that supports the career goals of Japanese business professionals who play an active role in global affairs, Robert Walters Japan understands the position of Japan’s national rugby union players who are taking up challenges in the international arena, and identifies with JRFU’s initiatives that encourage further global cooperation. Through this sponsorship, we hope to be able to support the continuing endeavours of these athletes.”

As a sponsor, Robert Walters Japan will continue to enhance the visibility of Japan national rugby union teams through efforts such as the use of logos in corporate advertisements, and promotions that feature the athletes and team mascot.
