NOCCO will be the official energy drink across the Welsh Rugby Union including the male, female and 7s elite teams and will kick off by supporting the men’s squad as they head to South Africa next month for their summer tour.
The WRU teams will be using NOCCO products and equipment at all forthcoming matches & tournaments including the Autumn Nations Series and the Guiness Six Nations. Last month, NOCCO grew its presence in rugby through signing Louis Rees-Zammit, Kyle Sinckler and Ben Curry to their impressive roster of athletes.

They also contain B-Vitamins. The newest flavour which launched last month, Mango, joins their core
flavours; Blood Orange, Limon, Miami (Strawberry), Caribbean (Pineapple), Tropical, Passion, Ice Soda and Red Berries. They also have two non-caffeinated flavours, Apple and Citrus & Elderflower.
