As part of the new deal, PTP will provide Rugby Australia’s high-performance program with their strength, core, mobility, and recovery range of products in an effort to boost Australia’s international success.

Rugby Australia general manager of commercial partnerships, Peter Sciberras, said the partnership with PTP will be invaluable.

“Rugby Australia is excited to announce that we are joining forces with PTP,” Sciberras said.

“PTP’s assistance will be invaluable to our high-performance team in helping to ensure our athletes are in top physical shape across all formats, particularly as they prepare for a return to play following the COVID-19 shutdown.

“In addition to the high-performance support, we look forward to promoting PTP to the rugby community via our digital channels and events,” he said.

PTP head of sales and marketing, Chris O’Sullivan, said he is excited to add Rugby Australia to PTP’s list of partners, which includes the Australian Boomers, Australian Opals, Australian Diamonds, Baseball Australia, and Softball Australia.

“PTP is proud to be able to provide Rugby Australia with the equipment they’ll need to be at their best to help them get back on top of the rugby world stage,” O’Sullivan said.

“We do business in fifteen, soon to be eighteen other countries around the world so we believe we can help grow [Rugby Australia’s] exposure in these countries as well.

“We are truly honoured to team up with Rugby Australia, being one of Australia’s most iconic sporting organisations and PTP being a fast-growing Australian fitness brand which was co-founded and still run by former rugby professionals, George Gregan and Matt Dixon.

“We feel there is a real synergy in this combination,” he said.
