Rugby Sales: Shirts and Gear

Club and national jerseys in children's sizes

The children's jerseys take up a large part of this selection: home jerseys from Stade Français, Stade Rochelais, and Union Bordeaux-Bègles, the away jersey from RC Toulon, and the fourth jersey from Stade Toulousain. On the international side, the home jersey of the French XV in junior size is alongside a t-shirt of the Springboks and outfits from Scotland. These children's versions feature the colours, badge, and logo of the adult model's supplier, in a cut suitable for a slimmer silhouette. They can be worn at the stadium as well as at rugby school, where wearing the jersey of their favourite team often motivates more than a neutral kit.

Last season's jerseys: a safe bet

A jersey from a previous season is far from being a second choice: the fabric, stitching, and badges are identical to those from its first sale, only the design has changed since. Thus, you can find home, away, and third kits from Castres Olympique, champion of France in 1993, 2013, and 2018, or from FC Grenoble, crowned in 1954. For a collector, these jerseys trace the visual history of a club, including sponsors and suppliers. For a young player, it's the easiest way to wear their team's colours at training, without the fear of damaging it in a tackle or a scrum.

Completing the outfit: shorts, socks, and jackets

Beyond the jersey, a player's full kit includes a short and socks in the team's colours. Rugby socks rise up to the knee, featuring a reinforced foot to limit friction in the shoe; those from Scotland, in training or away versions, are a good example. Rugby shorts, shorter and sturdier than standard sports shorts, withstand pulling in scrums. For the sidelines, the tracksuit jacket and sweatshirt from Union Bordeaux-Bègles in children's sizes keep warm between tournament matches, in the colours of the club from Bordeaux that was formed in 2006 through the merger of Stade Bordelais and CA Bègles-Bordeaux.

Frequently Asked Questions

Supporter jersey or authentic: which one to choose for an adult?

The supporter version, which has a straight cut and thicker fabric, can be worn comfortably in the stands as well as in the city. The authentic version, fitted and lightweight, is the one worn by players: it is snug and often requires a size up from usual.

Does a rugby jersey shrink in the wash?

A polyester jersey doesn’t shrink at thirty degrees, unlike a cotton model. It's mainly the heat from the tumble dryer and the iron that damage it, peeling off badges and prints.

What equipment should be bought for a child starting rugby?

A pair of moulded stud shoes, shorts, high socks, and a mouthguard are enough to get started. The club often provides the match jersey, but having their team's jersey is always a treat at training.

Is the XV de France jersey a good first gift for a young supporter?

Of course: the XV de France jersey, as well as those from the All Blacks or the Springboks, come in junior sizes, featuring the federation's emblem. It's often the first jersey of a young supporter, worn proudly in front of matches of the Tournament or World Cup.

What size rugby shorts should be chosen?

You should rely on the waist measurement rather than the jersey size: rugby shorts, which are short and sturdy, need to stay in place during tackles. An adjustable cord allows for a slightly loose short to fit a child better.
