As part of the deal, a dual branded OPROshield self-fit range will be available at retail, in addition to the new OPRO England Rugby co-branded custom-fit mouthguard.
OPRO will also be assisting the RFU medical team in future research and development relating to mouthguards and player safety, as well as supporting England Rugby’s All Schools programme by providing OPROshield mouthguards to the participating state secondary schools.
“This is a momentous time for OPRO,” Dr Anthony Lovat, the founder and owner of the OPROGROUP, says.
“As a dental surgeon, my team and I are passionate in our commitment to provide the best fitting, most comfortable mouthguards available.
“We feel honoured that the RFU has appointed our product as official mouthguard of England Rugby.
“With over 15 years’ experience in the development of mouthguard technology, this level of professional recognition in the excellence of our mouthguards represents a great achievement for us all.”
