London Broncos announce leisure wear collaboration with Saint Virgo
London Broncos are delighted to announce a new leisure wear collaboration with Saint Virgo which is available now on the club store and in the matchday club shop.
The collaboration will see Saint Virgo create a contemporary menswear range beginning with both t-shirts and hoodies before looking to expand the range in due course.
Craig Tullis, Director of SAINT VIRGO told the clubs official website;
“This is a huge milestone for SAINT VIRGO to be working with a well-established rugby league team to create this exciting collaboration.
“These garments capture a classic silhouette and having the Broncos badge on the chest brings the passion to life.
“On a personal note, it's always been a dream of mine to work with a professional rugby league team. Ever since I was a kid I have been in and out of training jerseys/kits all my life, I feel extremely privileged to have the chance to work with Broncos to bring this collaboration to life having always been a fan.
“I’m excited to see this collaboration in the club store and will be there to support the team during the season. We hope you enjoy wearing these as much as we have had designing and bringing this collaboration to life!”
The range was available to buy from the club shop for the opening home game of the season against Catalans Dragons and has already proven very popular.
London Broncos Head of Commercial Mark Kemp said;
“The club are very pleased to be working with Saint Virgo who will be providing an exciting leisure range to our fans. The items have already proven very popular with the players and fans and I look forward to working with SAINT VIRGO further throughout the year to expand the range available.”
The t-shirts are available at £25 with the hoodies available at £45

POST-MATCH REACTION: Mike Eccles following narrow Toulouse defeat London Broncos Director of Rugby & Performance Mike Eccles felt that despite defeat in France to the league leaders Toulouse Olympic, it was a performance with "plenty of positives and lots to build on." The Broncos would twice take the lead in the first-half only to be pegged back on both occasions to go into the break 12-12 but a last minute try from Benjamin Laguerre would seal the points for Sylvain Houles side. Watch the full post-match interview with Mike Eccles below. #WeAreLondon

MATCH PREVIEW: Toulouse Olympique vs London Broncos London Broncos head into one of the stand out fixtures of the season on Sunday when they make the trip to the south of France to take on Toulouse Olympique. Not only is it a visit to the side topping the Championship table but it is also the destination of one of the best days in the club's recent history. Securing promotion against Toulouse in 2023 was the last meeting between the two sides but despite the Broncos coming out on top that day it is the French who will be favourites on Sunday. Broncos come into this game on the back of a losing run but shoots of improvements were clear to see in the narrow defeat to Widnes last time out and will be boosted by the squad named. Squad Information Mike Eccles has named the 21-man travelling party for this weekend’s trip to Toulouse as Brandon Webster-Mansfield is named for the first time since arriving. Alongside Webster-Mansfield we also Liam Tindall and Connor O’Beirne return, coming as a huge boost for the squad. Sam Winney also returns to the 21 for the first time since breaking his jaw in the away game at Barrow. Jack Smith who is on dual registration from Leeds Rhinos also joins the group after scoring two tries on his debut for the club against Widnes Vikings. Lewis Bienek remains the only major absentee however it is hoped he will be fit for the next game at Hunslet.

Who has played for both? Toulouse Olympique & London Broncos It’s pretty common when we do these articles that there are a number of current players playing for the opposition, but perhaps Sheffield Eagles and Toulouse Olympique win the record for the highest number this season. So, before you all guess these five, Toulouse have 5 players in the current squad who have featured for London Broncos; Paul Ulberg, Ollie Ashall-Bott, Greg Richards, Callum Gahan and Rob Butler. Let’s focus on some of the players that no longer don the colours of either side and their history with us both; Rhys Curran An Aussie born French international, Curran spent two seasons at London Broncos before hanging up his boots. Still residing in London you can regularly expect to see Rhys coming down to The Cherry Red Records to support his former teammates. However, he can count a number of the Toulouse players as former teammates as he spent a very fruitful four seasons playing for the club between 2016 and 2019 and prior to that he played in Elite VIII for Villeneuve. Through residency (living for three years in France) Curran would play three times for the French national team in 2018.
