00:00 Firstly, Defender, as a partner of Rugby World Cup,

00:03 really great, entrenched in, I think it's the last four

00:06 versions of this tournament, which is absolutely brilliant.

00:10 I've been fortunate enough to be a part of the Defender

00:13 family for the better part of the last 15 years.

00:15 And a brand that, yes, speaks to so many

00:18 at the elite professional level within the sport,

00:21 but a brand that does so much from a grassroots level

00:24 perspective.

00:24 And out at the Palace in Tokyo today,

00:27 where we're speaking to some phenomenal trailblazers that

00:30 have, from a diversity and inclusion perspective,

00:33 got some of the most incredibly inspiring personal stories

00:38 of the impact that sport has had on their life,

00:41 but the manner in which they've been able to inspire and impact

00:44 those around them.

00:44 And this year, from a Defender perspective,

00:47 all those trailblazers, but also the defenders of tomorrow,

00:50 youngsters that have been selected from around the world

00:52 that are making a tangible and profound impact

00:55 in their own communities is something

00:57 that is inspirationally brilliant.

00:59 And for me to be a part of this family

01:01 and to see how many lives are being touched

01:05 by inspirational stories around the world

01:07 is absolutely phenomenal.

01:08 And hopefully, the stories of these trailblazers,

01:10 the stories of the defenders of tomorrow,

01:12 can really just show how much the values of Defender

01:16 speaks to so many across the globe.
