Rygg Backs the Doggies: Powering Wests Rugby Union into 2025

Rygg is proud to announce our official partnership with Wests Rugby Union for the 2025 season. Known as the Doggies, Wests has built a reputation for grit, determination, and an unshakable commitment to its players, members, and community. For us at Rygg, these are the very values that drive our mission is to provide elite athletes with the tools to perform at their best and recover smarter.

This partnership is more than a sponsorship, it’s a collaboration built on excellence, resilience, and community spirit. With Wests entering a promising new season, Rygg will be standing alongside the players, coaches, and staff to support them through every training session, game, and recovery phase.

The 2025 campaign begins on March 29th, with Wests hosting Bond University in what promises to be a thrilling season opener. It’s the perfect stage to showcase the strength and unity that define Wests Rugby Union, and we’re excited to play our part in ensuring the players step onto the field primed and prepared.

As the official performance and recovery partner, Rygg is dedicated to supporting the Doggies in every aspect of physical preparation and post-match care. Rugby is an unforgiving sport, built on power, endurance, and relentless contact, so recovery is not an afterthought, but a critical part of success.

Rygg exists to help athletes push their limits safely, effectively, and confidently. Our precision-formulated products, developed by Australian surgeon Dr. Steve Andrews, are designed to meet the unique demands of high-performance sport.

• HEATE is engineered for deep muscle activation and improved circulation, making it the perfect pre-game companion to get players warm, focused, and ready to perform.
• KHULE delivers targeted cooling therapy after the final whistle, helping reduce inflammation, fight fatigue, and accelerate recovery between training sessions and matches.

What sets Rygg apart is our commitment to safety and trust. All Rygg products are Informed Sport Certified, meaning they are rigorously tested for banned substances and trusted by professional athletes worldwide. For rugby players who put everything on the line, the assurance that their recovery tools are both safe and effective is invaluable.

Like Wests, Rygg stands for hard work, integrity, and results and these values are what make this partnership a natural and authentic fit.

Under the leadership of General Manager Felicity Bennetts, Wests continues to thrive both on and off the field. Felicity’s vision for the club extends beyond match results. She champions a culture that values player welfare, community engagement, and long-term development.

This alignment with Rygg’s mission makes the partnership even more meaningful. Just as Felicity and her team are building pathways for players to succeed, Rygg is committed to delivering recovery solutions that protect athletes and extend their careers. Together, we’re working to ensure that every player at Wests has access to world-class recovery support, so they can continue to give their best to the game and the community.

To officially kick off the partnership, Rygg was proud to be part of the Wests team presentation night, a special event celebrating the players, staff, and supporters who make the club what it is.

At the event, we introduced the Doggies to Rygg’s HEATE and KHULE creams, explaining how these products fit seamlessly into their performance and recovery routines. We also shared insights into the importance of recovery in rugby, the science behind Rygg’s formulations, and why Informed Sport certification matters at every level of competition.

The night wasn’t just about products, it was about connection. We had the opportunity to hear from players, meet passionate fans, and feel the energy that drives Wests as a true rugby family. Moments like these remind us why partnerships like this matter: they’re about building relationships, not just logos on jerseys.

Stay tuned to our social media for exclusive content from the event, including behind-the-scenes footage, player reactions, and more.

As the 2025 season unfolds, Rygg will be there for every high and low, every tackle, and every try. Our goal is to help the Doggies recover faster, train harder, and perform at their peak week after week.

But beyond the wins and the scoreboards, this partnership is about supporting a club that has become a cornerstone of its community. Wests Rugby Union represents something bigger than sport, it’s about connection, resilience, and the spirit of rugby.

At Rygg, we believe in moving with purpose. For Wests, that purpose is clear, to fight for every inch on the field, to stand tall as a club, and to give their best to the community they represent. And for that, we’re honoured to be part of their journey.

Go the Doggies!

Here’s to a season of strength, recovery, and unforgettable moments. From the opening whistle against Bond University to the final match of the season, Rygg will be proudly backing Wests Rugby Union, in helping them stay prepared, protected, and unstoppable.
