Cardiff Rugby is delighted to renew its partnership with Ron Skinner & Sons, alongside the addition of Smile Car Finance as a new commercial partner for the 2026/27 season.

The agreement sees Ron Skinner & Sons continue as Cardiff Rugby’s kit partner for a second consecutive season, building on a successful first year together and reinforcing the shared commitment between the organisations.
