Kicking off in July 2010, we are pleased to announce that we are
the official title sponsors of the J.P. Morgan Asset Management
Premiership 7s Series
A short form of rugby played throughout the world, Rugby 7s is a seven-a-side game that is played for seven minutes each way with a two minute break at half-time. By its nature the game is more fluid and open than its 15-a-side brother, requiring quick acceleration, sprint stamina, quick thinking, accurate passing and decisive tackling. This simple, fast and furious game is exciting for audiences and players alike.
In partnership with Premiership Rugby, J.P. Morgan Asset Management is creating a brand new 7s series – an annual competition that is designed to inspire new talent. The game's recent addition to the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympic Games means that this competition will turn the page of a new chapter in rugby.
For the opportunity to win tickets for you and your family, friends and colleagues enter the competition on this page.
