ARU puts best foot forward with RM Williams

Bootmaker RM Williams has agreed a four-year partnership with the Australian Rugby Union.

The deal names RM Williams the official bootmaker of the Australian national team. The agreement will run until the end of the 2019 season.

As part of the deal, Wallabies players and support staff will wear RM Williams’ boots as part of their corporate uniform. The partnership also incorporates Australia’s men’s and women’s rugby sevens sides and U20 team.

“We look forward to custom-fitting each of the team and staff members with our iconic one-piece-leather Craftsman boot, made in our Adelaide workshop,” RM Williams chief executive Raji Vuppalapati said.
