Rugby Buying Guide

As the old saying goes, "football is a gentleman's game played by ruffians, and rugby is a ruffian's game played by gentlemen."  However, the game is no longer just for men--women and children (though it's best if they're older and wearing protective gear, mind you) can get involved in this rough and tumble sport that is exciting to watch and exhilarating to play!  If you're playing in a league, watching a match at the pub, or giving your all in a video game, you can use ShopWiki to find some of the essential items you'll need to show your team spirit.

The Essentials

Balls 

You can't very well play without a ball, can you?  Though this key item was originally made of pig's bladder, we've come a long way since then, and balls can now be found in leather  or other synthetic  fabrics.

Apparel 

If you're a true fan, you'll at the very least need a rugby jersey , of course!  But which is your team?  The London Wasps ,Toulouse , the Leicester Tigers , the Springboks , the All Blacks ?

Boots (Footwear) 

These are the only things that stand between you and the ground, so you'll want a shoe that is light enough that you can easily run, but that is sturdy enough to keep you stable and ready for anything.

Video Games

Whether it's the off-season, poor weather, or you're not quite feeling brave enough for a scrum, video games  will still let you get a piece of the action in the comfort of your own living room.
