Rhino is one of the leading rugby brands in the world and has become part of the very fabric of the game itself. Rhino Rugby was founded in the early 1980s when the world’s first mass produced scrummaging machine Chris Carson Jersey , the Powerhouse, was developed by Rhino’s Founder, Tim Francis, who at that time was a master at Dulwich College. Having relocated to Devon Sheldon Richardson Jersey , he joined together with his brother in law Derek de Glanville, father of England captain Phil, and Phil Keith-Roach (scrum coach to the 2003 England World Cup winning side) to develop a full range of rugby training products. In 1988 the business was incorporated and raised funds through a Business Expansion Scheme share issue, led by current CEO Reg Clark and legendary Rosslyn Park Michael Wilhoite Jersey , Lions, England and Barbarians number 8 Andy Ripley, who became a significant shareholder and Chairman of the company for the next 18 years.
Rhino continued to grow at a rapid pace into the nineties and was named as Official Supplier of scrummaging machines, contact and training equipment and pitch kits to the 1991 and 1995 Rugby World Cups Eddie Lacy Jersey , a fact acknowledged many years later when Warner Brothers invited all of the staff of the company to the West End Premiere of Invictus to thank them for their work. Rhino also became Official Supplier to England Rugby in the 19945 season, a relationship which recently celebrated its 25th anniversary. Further high profile Official Supplier deals followed with Wales, Bath and the Cardiff Blues.
At the turn of the Millennium, Rhino was flourishing. In late 2006 Luke Joeckel Jersey , following the decision of Managing Director Derek de Glanville to retire, longstanding shareholder Reg Clark teamed up with England World Cup winning captain, Martin Johnson to effect a buy out of the business, which relocated to Chiswick Blair Walsh Jersey , West London where it is headquartered today. Official Supplier deals in training equipment with London Wasps and St Helens Rugby League Club (a breakthrough deal into that code) were subsequently announced and in the area of on-field kit and teamwear the Rhino Pure Rugby brand was soon to be adorned by Northampton Saints, Edinburgh and Llanelli Scarlets, in addition to Magners League referees and officials. Rhino was also named Official Supplier of scrummaging and training equipment and the official tour ball to the British & Irish Lions tour to South Africa in 2009.
After 25 years of being at the forefront of British rugby, Rhino launched its first range of casual separates Justin Coleman Jersey , RhinoGB.

The first range for Winter 2010 consisted of tee shirts, polo shirts, retro rugby shirts, hooded sweat shirts and a specially commissioned Duane Brown Jersey , old school fashion Union Jack Jacket. The range of heritage clothing and rugby leisure apparel is aimed at the young, athletic University sports fan through to the more mature, stylish, sporty dresser.
Rhino aims to continue to be at the forefront of all aspects of development of training equipment for rugby Frank Clark Jersey , and is particularly concerned with player safety, having taken a lead in a recent two year campaign to promote safe and efficient fully contested scrummaging in the rugby union game. Rhino’s values of toughness, reliability, integrity Rees Odhiambo Jersey , heritage and team spirit are born out of the game of rugby itself.
MADRID, Dec. 5 (Xinhua) -- FC Barcelona will make some important squad rotations as they look to end the group stage of the UEFA Champions League on a positive note when they entertain Borussia Monchengladbach in the Camp Nou on Tuesday night.
The disappointment of Sergio Ramos' last minute equalizer in Saturday's Classico against Real Madrid was palpable in Barcelona on Sunday, but there is no time for disappointment at the Camp Nou, indeed coach Luis Enrique can use the Borussia game to rest key players and give game time to others.
Barca are already assured of qualifying from their group as group winners and as such Tuesday offers a chance to rest some tired legs, while bringing other players up to speed.
Neymar misses the game through suspension and Enrique will give former Valencia striker, Paco Alcacar another chance to score his first goal for the club.
Meanwhile following his impressive 30 minutes after returning from injury in the last half hour of the Classico, Andres Iniesta will be given the chance to build up match fitness ahead of the weekend trip to play Osasuna.
Rafinha or Denis Suarez could also be given the chance to stake a place in midfield ahead of Ivan Rakitic, who has been out of sorts of late.
Samuel Umtiti will also start as he also looks to return to full fitness, although it is not clear whether Gerard Pique will be his partner in central defense, or whether young defender Marlon will be given a chance to impress following a series of convincing displays for the Barcelona B-team.
Barca can count themselves slightly unlucky not to have beaten Madrid on Saturday, but the fact is the side is still underperforming, with their traditional flowing football appearing only in fits and starts. Enrique needs Iniesta back to his best if the Champions are to recover both their confidence and their style.
