DEFENDER AT RUGBY WORLD CUP

Unforgettable experiences, engineered to excite.

DEFENDER LAUNCH PARTY

Defender kicked off Rugby World Cup France 2023 with a launch event at the Palais de Tokyo, in Paris, to honour our inspirational Trailblazers.


Our Trailblazers stepped into the spotlight, sharing their incredible stories of embracing the impossible on their awe-inspiring journeys, in discussion with rugby legend and 2007 World Cup winner Bryan Habana. 


The electrifying British rapper and actor, Kano, took to the stage in front of the Rugby World Cup 2023 Limited Edition Defender.
