OUR SPONSOR
Welcome to Mr. Casanova, where luxury isn't a vintage or a demographic—it’s a mindset. We believe that true sophistication doesn’t come with an expiration date, nor is it reserved for a single generation.
Founded on the principle of Universal Elegance, Mr. Casanova was born to bridge the gap between the rebellious energy of youth and the refined wisdom of experience. We don’t just design clothes; we curate a lifestyle that adapts to your journey, whether you’re stepping into your first boardroom or hosting a gala for a lifetime of achievements.
Our Philosophy: Luxury Without Boundaries
In a world that often tries to put style in a box, we chose to break it. Our collections are built on three core pillars:
- Ageless Versatility: We design pieces that look as sharp on a twenty-year-old as they do on a seventy-year-old. It’s about the cut, the fabric, and the confidence.
- Uncompromising Craftsmanship: Luxury is felt before it is seen. We source the world’s finest materials to ensure every stitch tells a story of quality.
- The Modern Romantic: Named after the ultimate symbol of charm, Mr. Casanova celebrates the art of living well, being bold, and treating every day as an occasion.

If at home, any player redrawn gives the opposing player a five point start. -
If away, any player redrawn gives the opposing player a three point start. -
If redrawn, the second game does not count towards the players League averages. -
The rule can only be applied once per game. -
If Captains agree – Discretion may be applied to the rule and how many players go into the draw. -

This rule is for emergencies only and for only when teams are short of players – It must not be abused to try and give teams an extra advantage and the League will step in if it feels this is the case.
