IT TAKES INNER STRENGTH TO DRIVE CHANGE
What does courage look like?
Courage is speaking up for those without a voice. Persevering for longer than anyone thought possible. Choosing to do what is right, not what is easy.
As part of Defender’s campaign for Rugby World Cup France 2023, we are celebrating those who have demonstrated the courage to overcome what others may have seen as impossible.
This is what courage looks like.
DEFENDERS OF TOMORROW
Celebrating those who know the value of community. Of making a difference.
Our ‘Defenders of Tomorrow’, chosen from hundreds of applicants to represent their country, will join the teams as they walk out onto the pitch.
Future Trailblazers in the making, discover more about these unstoppable young people who have achieved the exceptional in their communities.
WHERE LEGENDS ARE MADE
Certain people possess an 'inner steel' – an unwavering ability to persevere in the face of adversity. Defender also embodies this unstoppable inner strength.
At Rugby World Cup France 2023, we honour the Trailblazers who have used their 'inner strength' to challenge and overcome the obstacles that stood in their way through the technology and artistry of Defender.
With each intricate layer, these statues embody the resilience, compassion, and bravery that defines a true hero.
