Top 14 champion secures new kit partner

French sportswear company Le Coq Sportif has agreed a deal to become the new kit supplier of the country’s Top 14 rugby union champion Racing 92.

Le Coq Sportif replaces Italian brand Kappa as Racing 92’s kit supplier. Terms of the deal were undisclosed, although the partnership will at least cover the 2016-17 Top 14 season.

Racing 92 defeated Toulon 29-21 in last week’s Top 14 playoff final, which was staged at the Nou Camp in Barcelona, Spain.
