AMBASSADORS

ADAM RADWAN

England & Newcastle Falcons

Electric speed. Incredible finishes. A regular at Newcastle Falcons, Adam Radwan was first offered a spot in the team after his incredible displays of pace in the Premiership 7s. Since helping Newcastle back to the top flight, he was called up by England in 2021. Clocked at an unreal maximum speed of 11.2 metres per second, you’d be lucky to catch him.

ELLIE KILDUNNE

England & Harlequins

Defiant, determined and packed with potential. England and Harlequins rugby star Ellie Kildunne has truly cemented herself at the top of the game. With roots in Rugby League from growing up in West Yorkshire, she’s now a regular in the starting line-up for the Red Roses, was part of the England squad that finished second in the Rugby World Cup in New Zealand 2022, and is now a 5-time Guinness Womens 6 Nations winner. And, to top it all, in 2024, Ellie was named World Rugby 15s Player of the Year.

Off the pitch, in 2023 Ellie further celebrated the same creativity she shows on it by announcing a world-first collaboration with Canterbury – an Ellie-designed range that defines comfort and style outside of the game.

JODIE OUNSLEY

England 7s & Exeter Chiefs

A powerhouse player that picked up a ball at aged 15 and never looked back. Now 23, she’s gained caps for Sale Sharks and most recently, Exeter Chiefs. She’s also the first deaf woman to represent an England senior team, having gained a spot for England Sevens in 2019. Despite bumps in the road, Jodie has mastered the game as well as being an idol for young deaf people. There’s nothing she can’t do..

MACK HANSEN

Connacht & Ireland

A Canberra-born winger who’s laid his roots in Galway. Since making his debut for Connacht, he’s now an Ireland team mainstay, with an international career that began in the 2022 Guinness Six Nations. He touched down an epic try which saw Ireland beat the Springboks in the 2023 Rugby World Cup, which will forever confirm his name in Irish Rugby folklore.

With Mack now sporting Canterbury Speed Elite boots, and his trademark white and green Canterbury Raze headguard, he is undoubtedly part of the Canterbury family.

Maeve Óg O’Leary

Munster & Ireland

A Tipperary native with a masters in PR, Maeve is one of the next big things in Irish Rugby. And possibly the most positive person in the game. Incredibly grateful for the path that has brought her here, the Munster back-row understands the pressure she faces as an Ireland international. “Anytime you get to pull on the green jersey, it’s a privilege. There’s a job to do and you’re not just representing yourself but your club, your team mates and the whole country.”

SAM WARBURTON

Former Cardiff Blues, WRU & British & Irish Lions Captain

Two-time Lions captain, the youngest player to lead Wales into a Rugby World Cup match and, quite simply, one of the best players of all time. From early days at the Cardiff Blues Academy to becoming the only captain to twice take the Lions to victory, Sam reached heights no player had before. Since his retirement in 2018, Sam now runs the SW7 academy, bringing elite strength and conditioning training to the masses.
