Also, we have a new sponsor:

Sweet - the "Magic D" energy drink.

Not sold in NZ

Hopefully that'll change?
During the RWC... I think Michael Leitch endorsed it? And we constantly just referred to it as "Leitch-Michael" - downing a bottle every hungover morning.

So between this, INEOS and Altrad, why do they need to partner with Silver Lake?

Sure is, last point was reducing the amount of the stake, tired too a higher valuation. Less money, no 'legacy fund', but looks like that could be the go

The whole Japanese team (or at least Michael Leitch, Tanaka and a few others. I'm wondering if they've given up that sponsorship.

The Ukon no Chikara (Power of Tumeric) one is supposedly even better for a hangover.

I wouldn't know because I can't keep anything down if the hangover is worth worrying about (you're meant to drink this before hitting I'm told, but who is that fucking organized?)

Given the lack of media attention for this, I imagine it's a very minor deal

Key thing the ABs won't be forced to drink gaterade (or their choice of liquid in a gaterade bottle) on the pitch now - fucking disgusting stuff
