The following is an actual real quote from a genuine press release issued by Six Nations Rugby in relation to the launch of a new (and rather dubious) partnership with a mobile gaming partner.
We would like to preserve it in all its glory for future generations:
“We’re thrilled to team up with the Men’s and Women’s Six Nations as the first ever mobile gaming partner of Six Nations Rugby. This partnership marks another first, with the debut of MONOPOLY GO! in European sport sponsorship, bringing its competitive spirit to the pitch.
Rugby’s rich heritage of sportsmanship, resilience and competition mirrors the exhilarating and social experience of MONOPOLY GO! – a game where friends become rivals, landmarks are toppled, and daring bank heists unfold, fuelling the excitement and drive to win. This partnership is a celebration of community, friendly competition and the thrill of the game, on and off the pitch.”
Sophie Young, VP Regional Marketing at Scopely (January, 2025)
