BT Sport Announces Partnership with Scottish Rugby Jul 29, 2013 00:00 BST BT Sport announces partnership with Scottish Rugby BT Sport will feature as the shirt sponsor for both Glasgow Warriors and Edinburgh Rugby as part of a four-year sponsorship deal with Scottish Rugby. The new sports channels’ distinctive logo will be displayed on the front of both clubs’ shirts as they compete in the RaboDirect PRO12 and Heineken Cup. This new landmark partnership with BT will see BT Group and BT Sport promoted at Scotstoun Stadium and Murrayfield Stadium. The innovative new partnership will commence from August and runs until 2017. This season, Glasgow Warriors start their Heineken Cup campaign with a tough away draw against defending champions Toulon, while Edinburgh Rugby will play at Murrayfield as they take on Munster Rugby. Marc Watson, chief executive of TV for BT Retail, said: “We are very pleased to invest in Scottish Rugby with this sponsorship, which allows BT and BT Sport to demonstrate a commitment to supporting the game north of the border. This is part of our long term commitment to rugby, where we see great growth potential in the coming years. “BT Sport will be the home of the Aviva Premiership, showing all 69 live games and live action from the JP Morgan Sevens. We will also be showing live coverage of the French Top 14 competition.” Mark Dodson, chief executive of Scottish Rugby, said: “We’re absolutely delighted to have BT and BT Sport on board for the next four years. This partnership has been many months in the making and it’s been gratifying to have concluded it ahead of the BT Sport channels launching.” Scottish Rugby director of Commercial Operations, Communications and Public Affairs, Dominic McKay, added: “It’s great news to have secured another long term partnership with such a prestigious company. Glasgow Warriors and Edinburgh Rugby are growing clubs and with BT’s ambitious support, both clubs will continue to grow, whilst ensuring that they are able to compete at the highest level both in their domestic league and in European competitions. The partnership will also see BT working with Scottish Rugby and our supporters to further enhance our match day experience at both Murrayfield and Scotstoun.” Alastair Kellock, Glasgow Warriors captain, said: “It’s a huge boost for everyone associated with the club to have BT Sport as our new shirt sponsor for the next four years. I can’t wait to see our new kit when it’s launched next month.” Ross Ford, Edinburgh Rugby hooker, said: “BT is a high profile, household name and it’s fantastic to be associated with them. The length of the deal shows their long-term commitment to the club.” BT Sport will show all 69 live games from the Aviva Premiership for four years from the start of the 2013/14 season. It will also show the JP Morgan Asset Management Sevens for four years, as well as two live matches a week from the French Top 14 league. Former England captain and British and Irish Lions star Lawrence Dallaglio will be BT Sport’s rugby expert. The live coverage will be presented by Craig Doyle and ex-England internationals Matt Dawson, Ben Kay and Austin Healey will be expert pundits.

For the full text of this licence, please go to: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/2.5/ Rugby Union Men: Body Concerns by Natalie Darko Doctoral Thesis Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the award of PhD Doctoral Thesis of Loughborough University (July 2012) Natalie Darko 1 Abstract Existing research shows that increasing numbers of young men are dissatisfied with the appearance of their bodies. Drummond (2002a; 2005; 2010) has found that men will use sport and health-related sports acts to conceal these concerns from others. Accordingly, men’s body dissatisfactions are documented less frequently because the practices drawn upon to conceal them are perceived as routine forms of masculine behaviour. Rugby union is one of the most popular sports played by young men in England. Historically, the male rugby player is culturally perceived as strong, tough and unemotionally articulate. Existing research draws attention to health issues, such as performance stress and injury that arise through participation in this sport. Research also shows that rugby union players are likely to experience concerns about gaining weight, yet these are disguised within the requirements of training for the sport. Although, there are studies that examine the constitution of masculinities, the experience of pain and injury and career transitions among rugby union players there are no studies, as yet, that examine how rugby union men experience body concerns and manage these experiences through their sport.

  • Captaincy and Leadership in Rugby Union
    Captaincy and Leadership in Rugby Union HELP, Second Year List of contents 1. Introduction 2. The Four Captains 3. The Views of The Captains 4. Comparing and Contrasting the Captain’s Views 5. Interim Conclusions: Part One 6. Quali - Quantitative Survey 7. Interim Conclusions: Part Two 8. Leadership in Life 9. Overall Conclusions and Learnings 10. What Have I Learned? 11. Appendices 1. Introduction In this project, I am going to either prove or disprove two hypotheses: • firstly, that the position of a rugby player will make a difference to what they think a great captain is; and • secondly, that for a captain to be great, they do not have to be the best in their position. I will prove or disprove these hypotheses through the following research: • conducting semi-quantitative surveys • reading and analysing 4 great rugby captains’ autobiographies (qualitative research) and their views on leadership and captaincy • and finally wider online research. Rugby is a sport and subject that I am very passionate about, and I aspire to play at the highest level. Currently I play for Hampton U13 Bs and my club (Twickenham) first team. I find captaincy interesting as I think it takes great skill and certain characteristics to be a good captain let alone a country-leading world-famous great captain. My personal experiences of rugby captaincy have been periodically with my school team and regularly for my club. My personal view of rugby captaincy based on my experiences is that you need to be the hardest-working player on the pitch at all times – you may not be the most skilled, but you can be the hardest-working, and respect from your team- mates and from your coaches comes from this work ethic.

  • From the Telegraph June 4, 2008 Lawrence Dallaglio Volunteers for Duty at Twickenham Again to Aid Help for Heroes
    From The Telegraph June 4, 2008 Lawrence Dallaglio volunteers for duty at Twickenham again to aid Help for Heroes By Brendan Gallagher Lawrence Dallaglio has absolutely no intention of doing a Frank Sinatra on us but the former England captain and World Cup winner looks set to lace his boots one more time at Twickenham. Dallaglio, less than 72 hours retired, was back at Twickenham yesterday lending his support for a special charity game at HQ on Sept 20 in aid of the injured and maimed British Servicemen who are returning from Iraq and Afghanistan in disturbing numbers. Initially pencilled in as non- playing captain and recruitment officer for the Help the Heroes XV, Dallaglio was on top table when his opposition non-playing captain Scott Gibbs, a firm friend from Lions days and Heroes: Scott Gibbs with Trooper Adam looking fit after recently Cocks, who was injured in Afghanistan and Lawrence Dallaglio training for a marathon, suddenly declared his intention of playing as well. The gauntlet having been thrown down, Dallaglio immediately offered his playing services to Phil de Glanville who will manage the Heroes XV. "Scotty Gibbs always plays to win so if Phil de Glanville needs me on the field as well I'm available," said Dallaglio. "I will also be on the phone later to see if Mr Hill and Mr Back are free and fancy a final run out together. "This is going to be a great day in which rugby people can honour all our unsung British heroes in the Services from all the theatres of war, some of whom pay a terrible price for their country.
