England rugby kit supplier sold for £1

England rugby's new kit supplier is set to be sold in a £1 deal - three years after retailer JD Sports Fashion rescued the firm from administration.

Pentland - JD's biggest shareholder with brands including Ellesse and Mitre - will take on Canterbury's £22.7 million debt in its purchase of the firm, which also supplies the South Africa and Scotland teams.
