Unlocking the Power of Dreams with England Rugby partners
Honda, the performance partner of England Rugby, is working with Telegraph Media Group to help grow the game across the UK and help give people the power to dream. In 2022 – a World Cup year for women's rugby – The Telegraph Honda Rugby Legacy Fund was created to help grassroots girls' and women's rugby clubs achieve their ambitions. We reached out to all the clubs in the United Kingdom that ran a women's team, asking them why they felt they deserved funding from our partnership. We were inundated with entries, all with incredibly inspiring stories from women's teams in England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland, and were delighted to reward 15 clubs with prizes, thanks to the help of our expert panel that included the likes of former England players Maggie Alphonsi and Rachael Burford. This year we are working with Honda again to build a Power of Dreams XV, meeting with 15 people – from grassroots to the elite level – whose love of rugby and ability to dream big has earned them huge rewards in very different ways. From the elite women's and men's games – we spoke to England captains Zoe Aldcroft and Maro Itoje, World Player of the Year Ellie Kildunne, Natasha 'Mo' Hunt and current England internationals Ben Earl and Henry Slade – to those who blazed a trail for the sport and those who are still going above and beyond for their grassroots teams, we have collected stories to inspire. None more so than our piece with England's most-capped players Ben Youngs and Sarah Hunter as well as the legendary Alphonsi herself. Not only did these stories of those who have given their lives to rugby teach us about how they achieved their dreams, but they also showed how they coped with the inevitable unpredictable setbacks the sport can present. After all, what can you expect when you play a sport with an odd-shaped ball. 'There are huge synergies between Honda and England Rugby,' says Rebecca Adamson, head of automobile at Honda UK. 'We truly believe this is a partnership that supports our own philosophy of giving everyone the Power to Dream.' To that end the Honda Rugby Club was established to further support rugby fans and grassroots teams. By signing up, members are entered into monthly prize draws for exclusive rugby-related rewards, such as match tickets and signed merchandise. Participants can also nominate their local rugby union club, giving them a chance to win equipment vouchers and special prizes. Dream big. Win big Honda is Performance Partner to England Rugby.
