Baxters will provide healthy and nutritional food to Scotland's high performance players training and preparation over an initial two-year period for major events including the RBS 6 Nations.

The food group will focus on the vital day-to-day training processes involved in preparing Scotlands top players to enable them to perform at peak performance in international competition.

Andrew Field, marketing director of Baxters food group said: The focus of this partnership with Scottish Rugby is not about getting our name on a shirt or a pitch-side advertising board at an international game.

Baxters is interested in playing a part in the overall training and preparation of Scotlands top rugby players through good tasting nutritional foods.
