Rugby Australia and Defender are pleased to announce the renewal of their major partnership for another three years, until the end of 2027.

Defender has been a major partner and official vehicle of the Wallabies since 2018 with a shared vision to 'embrace the impossible'.

The iconic 4x4 vehicle has been driving global Rugby forward for over two decades, supporting and growing the game at all levels.

Passion, grit, integrity, and solidarity are at the heart of Defender's ongoing commitment to creating unforgettable experiences for the Australian Rugby community.

The renewal of the partnership comes as the Wallabies are on the rise after inspiring Spring Tour victories over England and Wales.

The Wallabies next face Scotland in Edinburgh on Monday 25 November (12:40am AEDT) before concluding the Spring Tour in Dublin against Ireland on Sunday 1 December (2:10am AEDT).

Jaguar Land Rover Head of Communications, Rowena Dale Said: "We are excited to continue Defender's commitment to Rugby in Australia, and globally, with the renewal of our partnership with the Wallabies for another three years.

"With shared values of passion, integrity, determination, and a spirit to embrace the impossible, we couldn't be more excited to write the next chapter of our partnership with the Wallabies, engaging with fans across the country and helping to grow the game."

Rugby Australia CEO Phil Waugh added: "We are excited to extend our strong partnership with Defender for the next three years.

"Defender have been a passionate partner and supporter of the Wallabies since the partnership began.

"Defender has a long history and affiliation with Rugby, and we are looking forward to maximising the partnership opportunities during this exciting time in Australian Rugby."
