FOR THE FIRST time in its history, the Women’s Six Nations will have a title partner, with the Championship set to be known as the TikTok Women’s Six Nations.
In a statement, the Six Nations stated: “The investment from TikTok will be felt by each Union. Whilst not limited to the Women’s game, this partnership will help each Union continue to develop this area of the game. In doing so, exposure for the women’s game, engagement, participation and major growth are all ambitions of this partnership.
“This is a seminal moment for the Women’s game, and testament to the commitment of Six Nations Rugby and all six Unions, to identify a partner that shares the passion for the development of Women’s rugby.”
