IG Index, the UK’s leading financial and sports spread betting company, will be sponsoring 100 Years – The History of Rugby which takes place at Broadgate Circle in London during the first three weeks of the Rugby World Cup.

The event, which features the largest built environment ever undertaken in the Circle, will be dominated by a scale rugby pitch where a 4-a-side touch rugby tournament will kick-off every day.

The History of Rugby will also feature a museum showcasing a collection of rugby memorabilia from around the world including signed balls, boots, and jerseys along with a series of historic photographs.

Brokered by Revolution Sports Marketing Group, IG Index will be one of five major sponsors of the event, which includes Qantas, and Rugby World Cup sponsors Peugeot and Société Générale.

Stuart Lane, Managing Director, IG Sport said, “The World Cup is a major betting event for IG Index and The History of Rugby is undoubtedly the largest celebration of rugby happening in London during the tournament. We are delighted to be involved and are really looking forward to some cracking matches over the next three weeks.”
