An eco-responsible allocation since the production of the jerseys is made up of 100% recycled raw materials, and assembled in France. Two lots of high quality for a generation under 12 who are likely to remember it for a long time if it were to be chosen. “For more than ten years, we have been committed to all rugby, whether professional or amateur, explains Michael Pierre, Communications and Events Director JLR France. This is why we initiated the “Defender of Tomorrow” program, a program aimed at young rugby fans. We want to equip U12 teams who act positively for the environment and their community. This year, we want to encourage them to propose new actions to carry out during the season to reach the Final. We look forward to discovering and following these beautiful projects. »
