DEAR RUGBY FANS,

As the O cial Logistics Partner of the series, DHL is moving all team and match gear around the country with passion and speed. This includes two dedicated trucks travelling more than 6,000 kilometres around New Zealand. We know that “great” is in the detail, and the importance of getting every single piece of equipment to the eld on time.
DHL has a long association with rugby both in New Zealand and around the world and we were proud to be the naming rights sponsor for this iconic rugby series in 2005, when the All Blacks won the series 3-0.

We also support the professional and grassroots game in places as far a eld as Canada and Kazakhstan to Laos, Australia and Fiji.
We are looking forward to an epic series where teamwork, skill, passion and dedication decide the Series. I wish both sides the best of luck and may the best team win.
