W RUGBY x Westcountry Wasps: Championing Inclusivity
We’re excited to announce a new partnership between W RUGBY and Westcountry Wasps RFC, Devon’s pioneering inclusive IGR (International Gay Rugby) club. At W RUGBY, our three core pillars — Innovate, Include, Inspire — guide everything we do, and this collaboration marks a major step forward in fulfilling our Include mission: empowering every player, no matter their background or ability.
Westcountry Wasps, known for promoting the sport within the LGBTQ+ community, embodies everything we stand for at W RUGBY: rugby for all. By using our coreplay and eliteflight™ rugby balls, the Wasps will benefit from the same innovation and quality we deliver to top-tier teams, while helping us continue to make rugby more accessible to everyone.
The partnership is thanks to our very own Project: Won for Won™ where W RUGBY donate rugby balls to local grassroots clubs, by matching every purchase of W RUGBY balls and further supporting rugby communities across the country.

“This partnership hits one of our most important pillars of Inclusion where we focus on creating opportunities for every player to get involved in rugby,” said Dovy Cornerford, co-founder of W RUGBY. “We’re proud to team up with Westcountry Wasps RFC to keep growing the game for every player.
Westcountry Wasps RFC head coach Joey Milburn shared, “We’re excited to partner with W RUGBY because their balls aren’t just great quality — they reflect the inclusivity and community spirit we stand for. W RUGBY’s commitment to giving back to grassroots rugby makes this partnership even more meaningful.”
Westcountry Wasps has always been about making rugby a welcoming place for everyone, and together, we’re ready to continue leading the charge for diversity and inclusion in the sport.
