Cardiff, Arms Park and sky blue and black
Located at Arms Park, right in the heart of the Welsh capital, just a few meters from the national stadium, the Cardiff club plays in sky blue and black. The regional team, established in 2003, was called Cardiff Blues until 2021 before taking the name Cardiff Rugby; it notably won the Challenge Cup in 2010, in Marseille, against RC Toulon. Its Macron range is the most complete of this selection: a quarter-zip jacket for warm-up, a waterproof jacket for rainy evenings, polo, t-shirt and zip sweatshirt for everyday wear, all in the club's colours.

Glasgow, Edinburgh and the 1872 Cup
Scottish professional rugby relies on two teams, rivals in a derby called the 1872 Cup, in memory of the first match between the two cities. The Glasgow Warriors, who play at Scotstoun, won the Celtic championship in 2015 and then the United Rugby Championship in 2024, beating the Bulls in Pretoria. Edinburgh plays just a stone's throw from Murrayfield and reached the semi-finals of the European Cup in 2012. Our selection includes the home shirt Macron from each team, the shorts and socks from Edinburgh, the scarf from the Warriors, and a Gilbert ball in the colours of each, to get autographed during a visit.
Ospreys and Sale Sharks, from Swansea to Manchester
Born in 2003 from the union of Neath and Swansea, two historic rivals, the Ospreys adopted the black and the osprey, the bird that gives them their name; they have become the most decorated Welsh team in the Celtic championship. The Sale Sharks, founded in 1861 in the suburb of Manchester, won the English championship in 2006 and now play in Salford. Their home shirt, like that of the Ospreys, can be worn at the stadium or for everyday use, and the training shirt of the Sharks offers a lighter fit for sports or stands.

Frequently asked questions
What is the United Rugby Championship?
The championship that brings together the professional teams from Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Italy and South Africa. Established in 2001 under the name of Celtic League, it took its current name in 2021 with the arrival of South African franchises.
What is the English Premiership?
The professional English championship, which includes the Sale Sharks. It concludes with a final stage and a final played at Twickenham, and its best clubs qualify for the Champions Cup alongside the French teams.
Do British sizes differ from French sizes?
For clothing, letter sizes, from S to XXL, generally correspond to ours, but some British cuts are roomier at the shoulders. For the upper body, we rely on the chest size indicated in the size guide.
Do British teams face French clubs?
Yes, in the Champions Cup and in the Challenge, where they regularly meet the teams from the Top 14 during the pool stage. These matches are opportunities for popular trips to Glasgow, Cardiff, or Swansea.
How should I dress for a winter match across the Channel?
A waterproof jacket over a zip sweatshirt, a scarf and a hat: in Glasgow as in Swansea, rain and wind are common from November to February. You keep the shirt underneath to show off your colours out of the weather.
