England Universities are delighted to announce a portfolio of sponsors for the Student Rugby League World Cup which has dramatically reduced the participant contribution that each player has had to pay.
TASS - Talented Athlete Sponsorship Scheme - will appear on the front of the England shirts for the World Cup.
TASS is a Sport England-funded partnership between talented athletes, education institutions and national governing bodies of sport, working together to bring the best out of our country's most exciting young talents.
The Scheme helps athletes in education – aged 16 and above – to get the very best from their sporting and academic careers without having to choose between the two.

BARLA, the British Amateur Rugby League Association, will see their logo appear on the sleeve of the shirt.
Since 1973, BARLA has championed the international game for community players and with over half of the England squad being community players, their contribution continues the support of the grassroots of the game.
