A WEST Devon company ? Rhino Rugby Ltd from Tavistock ? is celebrating 25 years of association with world rugby this season. As the inventors of the world?s first Scrummage Machine on rollers back in 1980, they are delighted to see these machines being used by national teams, clubs and schools throughout the UK and Europe and, further afield, by the Southern Hemisphere nations. A new four-year contract has just been agreed with the Rugby Football Union, in the lead up to the defence of the World Cup in France in 2007, to supply all the England teams with the latest model from Rhino ? the Dictator Scrummage machine ? together with hit shields, tackle bags, tackle suits and post pads. Paul Vaughan ? commercial director of the RFU ? said: ?We are delighted to continue our long-standing relationship with Rhino, as they have the reputation for providing the best equipment in the game?. To celebrate this agreement, and also to mark their Quarter Century, Rhino are offering free match balls with the purchase of equipment.
