NSW Waratahs Chairman, Tony Crawford said having Viva Leisure as a partner was a valued show of faith in the NSW Waratahs, and that both parties share common values, adding "it’s terrific to have Viva Leisure on board with us, and in time for Saturday’s blockbuster game against the British and Irish Lions.
