The Hurricanes have announced a major partnership with cleaning brand, Dettol, for the 2021 and 2022 Super Rugby Aotearoa seasons.

As part of the partnership, Dettol sanitiser stations will be introduced across Sky Stadium in an effort to ensure rugby can be played in front of fans in New Zealand throughout 2021.

Hurricanes CEO, Avan Lee, said the club is excited to connect to an established and revered brand like Dettol.

“We’re very pleased to be welcoming RB, maker of Dettol, to the Hurricanes family,” Lee said.

“Dettol has made a name for itself as world leader in cleaning and personal hygiene products and we look forward to working with them over the next two years.

“Obviously, vigilance is key, especially as we’re frequently bringing together large crowds.

“We want to keep our rugby season thriving this year and having sanitiser readily available for our members and fans helps us manage that risk and allows people to keep enjoying their favourite sport and feel safer,” Lee said.

RB country manager for New Zealand, Daniel Smith, said RB is proud to partner with the Hurricanes to work to protect the health of New Zealand.

“RB aims to protect, support and nurture our communities as we strive for a cleaner, healthier world,” Smith said.

“This partnership is designed to protect the sport so many Kiwis love, from watching our national teams play, to participating in games ourselves through community clubs.

“Together we will help to embed important hygiene habits into the lives of all Kiwis in these challenging times,” he said.
