Hays Travel to sponsor Wales at Rugby League World Cup

All three of Wales’s group stage games later this month will take place in the Hays North West catchment – the first versus the Cook Islands in Leigh, the second versus Tonga in St Helens and the third versus Papua New Guinea in Doncaster.

“We’re thrilled to be involved in a major sporting event with a global audience and one that fits particularly well for us with our strong presence in locally," said Hays North West managing director Don Bircham.

“There’s a massive following for rugby league here and Wales has a historic bond with the game with so many of its greats having come north. Many rugby league fans will know our brand as we have a strong presence in the north west, including at St Helens so this sponsorship is a perfect fit for us."
