The Welsh-based sports nutrition company—official suppliers to the WRU since 2014—has agreed to a new two-year arrangement as part of the national squad’s preparations for the 2019 Rugby World Cup.
“We are delighted to extend our long relationship with the WRU and to commit to working alongside the representative teams for the next few years," said Wales National Squad Nutritionist and co-founder of PAS Jon Williams.
"As a Welsh company, we take a great deal of pride working alongside the WRU, the national teams as well as all four Welsh regions and it is an exciting time in the game in the lead up to the 2019 RWC."
