In celebration of the Allianz Premier 15s final coming to Kingsholm, the home of Gloucester Rugby will adopt a new name for one week only: Queensholm.
The new name was unveiled by Gloucester Rugby at the stadium today, as the captains and coaches of the Premier 15s finalist gathered to preview the league showpiece, taking place this Saturday 24 June.
‘Queensholm’ Stadium is widely regarded as one of the most iconic venues in rugby, in part thanks to the famous ‘Shed’, known for its vocal and passionate supporters. The stadium was selected as the host for the Allianz Premier 15s final in October 2022 and will see its own team – Gloucester-Hartpury – run out after their top-of-the-table finish.
With ticket sales over double the previous record set for an Allianz Premier 15s final, ‘Queensholm’ is guaranteed to make history on Saturday.
“It’s amazing” commented Gloucester-Hartpury co-captain and Red Rose legend Natasha ‘Mo’ Hunt.
“It’s a dream to run out to a packed Kingsholm in Cherry & White. The fact that we’re now doing that at ‘Queensholm’, in honour of the final that we’ve fought so hard to get to… it means so much.”
“I am so unbelievably proud to wear this shirt and all it represents, from the staff that go above and beyond and are always so welcoming, to the unreal supporters and people of Gloucester.
“It’s going to be an insane occasion and I’m so excited to be out there with the girls. We will do everything we can to make everyone proud on Saturday.”
