In addition, it will also supply the pitch kits for both Lions and Wallabies training sessions and for the test series. These kits include post pads, corner pole pads and flags, and moon flags. 

As part of the agreement, most of the training equipment used by the Lions and the Wallabies will be donated to local schools and rugby clubs in the UK, Ireland, and in Australia.

This will be the fifth consecutive tour that Rhino will be supporting the Lions.

The Lions have concluded several commercial deals in recent months, including a major partnership with Qatar Airways, the state-owned national airline carrier of the Gulf state, as title sponsor for the 2025 Australia tour.
