London Wasps Rugby

Jewson, the UK's leading supplier of timber and building products to the trade and general public, has a sponsorship deal with London rugby team Wasps.

London Wasps are one of the most famous clubs in world rugby. The Club was originally part of the Hampstead Football Club, along with Harlequins, which was formed in 1866. However, a split in the membership resulted in Wasps Football Club being established the following year.

The Club was founded before the creation of the Rugby Football Union (RFU). Wasps were eligible to become founder members of the RFU in 1871, but the Club's representative famously missed the inauguration ceremony and Wasps forfeited the right to call themselves foundation members.
