Prima KottuMee returns as the Hot 'N' Spicy food partner for the second year running, supporting Sri Lankan rugby as it gears up for the New Zealand Under-85kg Tour 2026 — a testament to the brand’s steadfast commitment to sports.

The tour kicks off on 25 April under lights at Colombo Racecourse International Stadium, setting the stage for a hot and spicy XV-a-side clash between Sri Lanka and the New Zealand Under-85kg rugby team, before the two sides meet again for the second leg on 3 May at the Nittawela Rugby Stadium.

Last year’s New Zealand Under-85kg Tour drew remarkable crowd support, with thousands of fans turning up across matches to witness the action firsthand. The strong turnout reflected growing enthusiasm for the game, creating a spirited match environment that lifted on-field energy and strengthened engagement with youth, which lies at the core of the brand’s focus.

Sajith Gunaratne, General Manager of Ceylon Agro Industries, Prima Group Sri Lanka, noted, "Bringing the Hot ‘N’ Spicy spirit to the game, we are proud to once again partner with Sri Lanka Rugby to support our Tuskers as they gear up for the New Zealand Under‑85kg Series. This partnership highlights our continued commitment to backing local talent and strengthening the future of Sri Lanka's rugby.”

Prima KottuMee’s long-standing support for Sri Lanka rugby, across school, professional, and national levels, reflects its steadfast commitment to the sport. Through supporting tournaments and nurturing young talent, the brand continues to help build a strong foundation for rugby across the country.

With its continued support for Sri Lankan rugby, Prima KottuMee brings fans closer to the action, celebrates the spirit of the game, and empowers the next generation to take the sport to new heights.
