What Equipment Do I Need for Rugby Union?

Rugby Boots

Headgear (Optional)

Rugby Boots

 The foundation of any rugby player's performance is their footwear. Rugby boots are specifically designed to provide optimal traction, support, and stability on the field. They come in various styles, materials, and stud configurations to suit different playing positions and field conditions. 

Mouthguard

Headgear (Optional)

Rugby Boots

Rugby is a contact sport, and although injuries are very rare at the junior level, a quality mouthguard can protect the teeth and jaw from any impacts during tackles and collisions. We recommend purchasing the type that can be molded to your young players mouth. Click to see an example.

Headgear (Optional)

Headgear (Optional)

Headgear (Optional)

While not mandatory in Rugby, wearing headgear can help reduce the risk of head injuries and concussions.  The expandable lace closure system and molded foam allows for a flexible fit to provide comfort, safety and stability for all head shapes and sizes. Click to purchase an Owls headgear.  

How to Choose the Right Rugby Boots for You!

Having the right boots are the solid foundation of any Rugby player.

 When choosing Rugby boots, make sure to consider the following factors:


  • Your playing position: Different positions require different levels of support and traction. Forwards need boots with more grip for scrums and rucks, while backs require lightweight boots for speed and agility.


  • The type of pitch: Soft ground boots have longer studs for muddy conditions, while firm ground boots have shorter studs for dry, hard surfaces.


  • Comfort and fit: Your boots should feel comfortable and snug, with enough room for your toes to move freely. We recommend visiting a local shop to try on boots rather than ordering online. 

Some recommended local Rugby boot suppliers:

Intersport Fyshwick

Rebel Sports
