We provide a full range of IT solutions, including software development, 'pc' engineering services, network support and hardware supply. The sponsorship agreement establishes us as the ARFU's official and preferred supplier of these services.

"This is also Infinity Solutions' chance to support the game New Zealanders love and give our backing to the Blues and the Auckland NPC team, both of which have a great history of success," said Ms McGill.

ARFU Chief Executive David White said the sponsorship cements the strong link between the Union and Infinity Solutions.
