Rugby gear at a discounted price.
Replacement studs: extend the life of your shoes
Rugby shoes last much longer when you replace their studs on time. The Precision Union Studs, sold in packets, replace the worn studs caused by friction on car parks and the concrete of changing rooms. A worn stud slips in the mud, a chipped stud becomes sharp and may be rejected by the referee, with World Rugby rules limiting the length to twenty-one millimetres. A stud key and a set of new studs in the bag prevent you from having to give up a training session.

Kit bag, ball bag, wheeled bag: the club's equipment
A club also relies on its shared equipment. The kit bag Sporti Pro, compartmentalised, stores bandages, cold packs and disinfectant for quick intervention on the sidelines. The ball bag Force XV carries the balls from a session between the clubroom and the pitch. The wheeled bag Force XV eases the burden on coaches transporting bibs and cones, and the sports bag doubles as Tremblay CT to accommodate gear for a whole tournament day. Finally, the tactical board allows the coach to sketch a lineout play at half-time.
Child protections: equipping a young player without getting it wrong
For a child starting out, three protections are essential. The gumshield, suitable for a small jaw like the Tremblay or the adidas Opro child, moulds in hot water. The helmet, like the Gilbert Air for children, lightweight and ventilated, is chosen based on head circumference measured above the eyebrows. The shoulder pads for children Canterbury Pro or Force XV are adjusted according to chest size and provide reassurance during initial tackles. Discounted protections allow you to keep up with the child's growth from year to year without breaking the bank.

Frequently asked questions
Are discounted protections allowed in matches?
Yes, a discount does not affect the certification: a helmet or shoulder pad bearing the World Rugby label is still allowed in competition. This stitched label should be checked before purchase.
What is a tactical board used for in rugby?
To explain a lineout play, a play launch or a defensive setup by drawing with a dry-erase marker. Coaches use it at half-time and during video sessions to make instructions visual.
What should you put in a club physiotherapist bag?
Adhesive and cohesive bandages, compresses, disinfectant, instant cold packs, scissors, and gloves. The kit is completed according to the club doctor's instructions and checked before each match.
Is an ankle brace necessary to play rugby?
It isn't mandatory, but it helps a player coming back from a sprain or with a weak ankle. It should be worn under the sock, with a size chosen based on ankle circumference.
How should you store your gear after a muddy match?
Separate shoes and dirty kit into a separate compartment, air out the bag as soon as you return, and let the gear dry in the open air. If left damp in a bag closed up, the materials can quickly develop a persistent smell.
