ARU converts Skins extension

Compression garment manufacturer Skins has extended its partnership with the Australian Rugby Union until 2017.

Skins, which began its support of the ARU in 2010, will remain the official compression garment of the Australian national rugby union team under the new four-year deal.

The company will work with national players, coaches and support staff to provide a full range of compression solutions.

Players will also continue to work with the Skins development team to help create new products.

Skins chairman Jaimie Fuller said: “We are proudly Australian and we are keen to support Australian teams as they take to the pitch to show their talent and combative spirit to the world. This truly is a partnership, working collaboratively with elite athletes like the Qantas Wallabies helps to shape our product offering and we look forward to working with this great group of athletes for the next four years.”
