"The Club is pleased to be associated with Le Roc Sport and its provision of the player's kit & leisure wear. We look forward to our initial contract extending to long-term partnership for the benefit of Club, Company and game."
"Le Roc Sport is a sports textile company which has been established for over 35 years, and is widely considered in France to be the Number One manufacturer of rugby apparel, equipping one third of the 1st. & 2nd. Division teams in France."
"The Quality of their garments, all in 100% combed cotton (no French player would consider any other material), and their short lead times have enabled Le Roc Sport over the years to build up the confidence of numerous top grade French Clubs (Colomiers, Perpignan, Bayonne, as well as the 'Froggies' - The "Flagship' of France's Sevens teams are but a few of the teams endorsing Le Roc)."
"Now Le Roc are expanding into the International arena, and are, at last, in the UK. Already a number of top teams are showing interest in the quality and reliability of the products, which are declined [sic] in a range of leisure wear carried by top stores around the country."
"Paul Boulter, the Firm's representative over here, has been pleasantly surprised at the overwhelming interest the garments have attracted, as his origonal feeling was that a French company selling rugby shirts to Britain would be akin to 'a British firm canvassing for garlic on the Champs Elysees'!"
"Le Roc Sport have already reached Apparel Sponsorship Agreements with our Club and with Maesteg. Boulter goes on to say, 'Both clubs have a solid history and fervent following. It is Le Roc's aim to partner clubs such as these, and to grow together over the years to come"."
"PS. Le Roc Sport have just signed an exclusive 3-year deal to kit out ALL the Italian National Teams."
"Todays Visitors"
"Newport Rugby Football Club"
"Contrary to last season's late expectations at The Welfare Ground, NRFC wasn't the best placed Gwent club in the Heineken First Division. It was our visitors today, Newport! Belated congratulations and welcome, players, committee & supporters, once again to The Welfare."
"Therefore we eagerly await today's result. Will the Canadian outside half, Gareth Rees kick his team to victory, or will the home side score bonus tries? The statistics below point to dogged encounters in the Heineken League with only one occasion carrying maximum bonus points (as the new system of awarding points would determine)."
"Both sides field new blood and The Welfare will be interested in Mike Voyle's performance since he was once part of the home squad."
