Robert Walters CEO of Australia and New Zealand, Shay Peters said partnering with the Black Ferns and All Blacks fulfilled a long-held ambition.

“As a business, we applaud how rugby contributes to our national economy, from tourism to jobs creation, but our passion runs much deeper than dollars and cents. One of the many things I love about rugby is that it’s a great leveler. Whatever your age, gender, size or background – everyone can enjoy the buzz of a well-timed All Blacks tackle, or a last-minute Black Ferns try. Nothing else unites our nation like this.

“The Black Ferns and All Blacks inspire us to be our best selves; setting the bar for teamwork, leadership, and resilience. It’s for all these reasons, and more, that Robert Walters is proud to say: We are proud to be the Official Supporter of New Zealand Rugby, and Supporter of All Blacks and the Black Ferns.”
