Mazda is not one of the really big global carmakers. So what does Mazda do to stay at the forefront of technology?

A new chapter in Connacht Rugby begins this week with a new major sponsor being unveiled ahead of the province's first pre-season match on Saturday. In a new departure, Japanese car manufacturer Mazda has become the new title sponsor, taking over from the Bank of Ireland which had been involved with the province since 1996.

Amid speculation that Connacht Rugby has changed its title sponsor in preparation for its opening Heineken Cup campaign, the province has refused to confirm any new deal. Speaking to the Galway Advertiser yesterday, media officer Luke Murphy insisted the club is still exploring a number of avenues: “Negotiations are still ongoing with a number of parties. We are not in a position to confirm a change to our sponsor as of yet. It is possible an announcement might be made next week but as it stands we cannot confirm any details as we still have a number of interested parties. Obviously the Heineken Cup has been a great accelerator for us. We have been able to redevelop the Sportsground here, putting on a roof and it is a significant capital project.”

Newcomers Connacht have the honour of opening this year’s Heineken Cup.
