With an illustrious history of towing, including hauling road trains and space shuttles, the Discovery has become the benchmark towing vehicle in its class – winning numerous accolades in the process.
Combined with Land Rover’s long involvement in rugby, from a grassroots level to the Rugby World Cup, and the choice was obvious when a special donation from Land Rover had to be delivered, in February this year.
The donation in question was a Rugby Club Starter Kit – a repurposed shipping container outfitted with the all the essentials a young rugby team needs to nurture young talent. Weighing in at 4,500kg* on its trailer, this mobile locker room proved to be the ideal challenge for the new Discovery and its guest driver, Springbok and Stormers Rugby player Siya Kolisi.
