Nando’s is the home of

legendary, Portuguese

fl ame-grilled PERi-PERi

chicken and it’s now also

teamed up with the Cardiff

Blues Academy.

Nando’s specialise in succulent, Portuguese, fl ame-grilled PERi-PERi chicken guaranteed to spice up your taste buds and served in a warm, fun and vibrant atmosphere.

The partnership came about after Blues Hooker, Rhys Williams frequently visited and became friendly with Ben Browne, manager of the Merthyr restaurant.

With a lot of the restaurant staff playing rugby and supporting the Blues, and Academy players enjoying eating at Nando’s it’s an ideal partnership!

Nando’s are proud supporters of the Blues Academy, but their commitment to local rugby charity work goes further, mainly through the Cynon Valley Rugby initiative, supplying kit and coaching for local children who wouldn’t have access to it otherwise.

Speaking of the partnership, Blues Academy Manger Gethin Watts said,

“The Academy this year has again lead the fi eld in its delivery of player development with many players enhancing their chances of making the big stage.”

“Testament to this is the number of players not only competing at international age grade level but also several players appearing for the senior XV in various competitions.”

“It must be said that these developments and strides would not be able to be made without the help and support of companies like Nando’s”

“Nando’s support this year has been fantastic and has really made a diff erence in what we are trying to achieve.”

“They are a company that from the word go have been very personable and our relationship with them thus far had been excellent.”
