PARTNERS & SPONSORS
Grassroots Rugby Meat Pies is built on community, and community only works when people step forward and back it properly.
This channel would not exist without the belief, commitment and support of our partners and sponsors. From day one, they have recognised what we are trying to build: a national platform that gives grassroots rugby the visibility and recognition it deserves.
Below you can find further information about each of our partners, together with their comments and insight into why they are supporting the channel and investing in the grassroots game.
We are proud to be working alongside SAMURAI Powered by KITLOCKER.COM as the official rugby apparel partner of Grassroots Rugby Meat Pies. From the very beginning, SAMURAI have backed the platform with genuine belief. They understand what grassroots rugby truly represents — commitment, club pride, community loyalty and those moments that deserve recognition beyond the touchline.
Their support sits right at the heart of what we are building. SAMURAI are sponsoring our Try of the Season launch competition, celebrating the standout moment from across the campaign.
Alongside this, they are also supporting our Club Activation Award, providing a full bespoke team kit package worth £2,000. It is a significant investment into an amateur club and a clear demonstration of their commitment to the community game. A prize of that scale can genuinely support a club, strengthen its identity and give players something to rally behind.
SAMURAI has always had deep roots in grassroots rugby and was built around supporting the game at its core. From the outset, the brand has remained closely connected with the clubs, players and communities that represent the true spirit of rugby.
We are delighted to be working alongside a brand that shares our values and actively supports the amateur game. We asked Anjali two questions about why SAMURAI are backing our new community channel and why having a dedicated platform for amateur rugby is so important.
What made SAMURAI want to support Grassroots Rugby Meat Pies?
SAMURAI is proud to support this new venture because grassroots rugby is the heart of the game and has always been and will always be the foundation of the brand. It’s where communities come together, where players find their love for the sport, and where spirit is strongest but it often doesn’t receive the attention it deserves. By supporting Grassroots Rugby Meat Pies, we want to help shine a light on the game to support the players, clubs, and volunteers who are the backbone of the game. We’re excited to be part of this new project and look forward to seeing it grow.
Why is it important for amateur rugby to have its own dedicated platform?
Amateur rugby is the heart of the game, but doesn’t receive as much visibility as it deserves. A dedicated platform gives the players, clubs, and communities a place to share their stories, celebrate their achievements, and showcase the passion that exists at this level of the sport. With Grassroots Rugby Meat Pies creating a space specifically for this, it helps recognise the people who keep the game alive and strengthens the wider rugby community.

CURVA have partnered with us as our official Training and Wellness Partner for Grassroots Rugby Meat Pies. From the outset, CURVA have backed what we are building and shown genuine belief in the grassroots game. They recognise the commitment of amateur players and are supporting our community with subscription giveaways and exclusive discounts.
CURVA’s rugby training app is built specifically for rugby players who want structured, position-focused strength and conditioning support. It delivers clear, progressive gym programmes designed around the physical demands of the game, helping players develop strength, power, speed and resilience across the season. Alongside performance work, the app also supports mobility, recovery and injury prevention, giving players a complete and practical framework that fits around weekly training and matches.
Their approach mirrors our ambition: raise standards, support players properly and invest back into the amateur game. We are delighted to be working alongside a brand that shares our values and actively backs grassroots rugby.
A note from Luca, CURVA:
"Grassroot's rugby is at the core of the professional game. We want to elevate the playing quality on the pitch, by helping players improve off it."
