Rugby Warehouse has launched its latest incarnation of their very popular playing shirt “Drop Out”.  “Drop Out Pro”, is the answer to the many requests made of them by regional clubs asking for a lighter bespoke but robust shirt. The new shirt is a 200 gram weighted ployester shirt that is fully sublimated with the club badge, sponsors logos, and numbers. The material is impregnated with “Hydrowick”, a chemical that allows water and perspiration to be “wicked” away from the skin.

The new shirt is available in regular and slim fit, the polyester has a natural stretch to it allowing the bigger forwards to feel comfortable in a slim fit shirt. The cost of the shirt is £25.00 net of  VAT,  is British made, available within 21 working days from approval of design and is guaranteed against manufacturer defect. To see the shirt and all the other kit and club wear available call Rugby Warehouse on 01455 213814

Every-one’s minds must be turning to the age old question “what are we going to do for next year in terms of  playing kit and club kit”, coaches, captains and committee often spend a lot of time pondering this question, rarely with consensus. Team kit and club kit is so often the responsibility of the coach but I ask “. Don’t these guys and girls have enough on their plates given they are all volunteer’s”? Shouldn’t their focus be on the coaching and management of a successful grass roots team?

Rugby Warehouse is the answer, we encourage all clubs to agree a standardised kit, from minis, juniors up to senior players, this enables the club and its members to be recognised as a single unit, giving a uniform identity and pride in the club.

With an unbeatable 21 day delivery on our Drop Out sublimated rugby shirt (produced in the UK, not in questionable circumstances in a far eastern country!) including club badge, sponsors and logos. All for £24.72 (adults) inclusive of VAT.

Please call Steve Small on 01455 213145 for all your club requirements.

After the wide scale debate over the scheduling of the first Friday night Six Nations game this evening, what do you think about evening kick-offs?

There is a specific argument against having them in the Six Nations, do they belong in world cups and national leagues only? Or is the Six Nations running ten years behind the rest of the rugby world?

Martin Johnson wants the England squad to show exemplary behaviour as they act as role models for today’s young people in all walks of life, an excellent directive from an outstanding leader.

Do you agree that youth crime and gang violence in some areas could be helped if the youth in troubled areas were introduced to rugby by local clubs, instilling in them some proper values, a purpose and a physical activity to show their abilities to rest of the “gang”? Perhaps it would also help to keep them off the streets where there is little for them to do.
