Gartmore muscles in on rugby fever

The rugby bandwagon continues to roll. Latest to declare their new love of the game are fund managers Gartmore. The recipient of Gartmore’s contribution is that venerable rugby institution the Barbarians. The club, founded in 1890, is most widely lauded for its 1973 match against the New Zealand All Blacks in which Gareth Edwards scored arguably the greatest ever try.

Gartmore’s name will be splashed across the club’s famous black-and-white-hooped jerseys for at least the next two years.
