Prima KottuMee has once again demonstrated its commitment to sports development through a collaboration with Sri Lanka Rugby to host the tour of an official All Blacks team. The New Zealand Under 85kg Rugby Team has arrived in Sri Lanka, making its first visit to the country in a historic two-match tour.

The tour kicked off on 4 May in Kandy, where the New Zealanders faced the Sri Lankan Tuskers at the iconic Nittawela Rugby Stadium. Following their first match, the visitors will travel to Colombo for a series of practice sessions at Longdon Place before clashing with the Tuskers once more on 10 May at the prestigious Racecourse Grounds.

Prima KottuMee, known for its bold and fiery flavours, is the Hot ‘N’ Spicy Food Partner for the entire tour, further reinforcing its legacy of supporting Sri Lankan rugby. This partnership not only energises the players but also highlights the brand’s unwavering dedication to the local rugby community.

“This collaboration marks a historic moment for rugby in Sri Lanka. At Prima, we have always believed in fostering talent and creating opportunities for growth in the sport. It underscores our commitment to elevating rugby in the country. We are excited to see the impact this tour will have on the sport and our players,” said Ceylon Agro Industries, Prima Group Sri Lanka General Manager Sajith Gunaratne.

The brand continues to elevate Sri Lankan rugby by investing in both professional and junior levels. Its recent collaborations with the Asia Rugby Emirates Men’s Championship 2025 vs Malaysia, the Inter-Club Rugby League 2025, and the Inter-Schools Knockout Rugby Tournament 2025 conducted by the Sri Lanka Schools Rugby Football Association stand as a testament to Prima KottuMee’s commitment to advancing rugby in the country.

With Prima KottuMee’s steadfast support and the All Blacks’ legacy, this tour promises to ignite the passion of a new generation of rugby enthusiasts while celebrating a shared history between two rugby-loving nations.
