Heathrow Express gets on board with Premiership Rugby

Premiership Rugby has announced that the Heathrow Express airport rail link service has signed a two-year sponsorship deal under which it will become a key partner of the London Double Header season opener of the 2013-14 campaign.

The showpiece start to the season, which is in its 10th year, will take place at Twickenham Stadium in London on September 7. London Irish will play Saracens, before London Wasps take on Harlequins.

Heathrow Express, which operates between Heathrow Airport and central London, will partner the showcase event – aiding fans' transportation needs on the day.
