Some people come straight for the home shirt. Others barely make it past the training singlets.
Adult rugby kits at Pro:Direct Rugby cover both ends of it, with replica rugby shirts, training wear, shorts, heritage tops and supporter clothing from international rugby, Super Rugby, rugby league and State of Origin.
There is plenty of adidas and Nike in the mix through New Zealand, South Africa and France, alongside PUMA, Canterbury, Classic, Dynasty and other teamwear brands. If you know the badge, head straight there. If you are just looking for a good rugby shirt, this is the better rail to wander through.
International Rugby Shirts
The international side of the collection starts with some very familiar colours.
New Zealand means black and the silver fern, whether you want an All Blacks rugby shirt, heritage polo or one of the adidas training pieces. South Africa brings the Springboks in green and gold, with Nike home shirts, heritage kit and training wear sitting alongside the current range.
France is blue, adidas and a good selection of shirts, performance tops and supporter pieces. Depending on stock, you will also find England rugby shirts, Wales rugby shirts, Scotland rugby shirts and Fiji rugby kits across the wider adult range.
They all live under international rugby kit, but they do not all need the same thing from a shirt. A replica makes sense for matchday. A training tee works better in the gym. An old-school polo will probably get worn more often once the tournament is over.
Replica Rugby Shirts and Heritage Tops
Replica rugby shirts are still the obvious choice when you want to look like you are actually supporting the team rather than just borrowing the colours.
Current shirts from the All Blacks, Springboks, France and other national sides sit alongside club and representative kit. There are also older-season shirts throughout the collection, which is useful if last year's design was better or you find your size at the right price.
Heritage rugby shirts go in another direction. Traditional collars, long sleeves and heavier-looking shapes feel more at home over a T-shirt or with jeans than most modern match shirts. The All Blacks heritage polos are a good example, while South Africa's current range also gives the old rugby-shirt shape plenty of room.
Neither route is better. One is for kick-off. One might still be on at closing time.
Rugby Training Wear
Training kit takes up a big chunk of the collection, especially once you get into southern hemisphere rugby.
There are All Blacks performance tees and singlets, Springboks training pieces, New South Wales Blues tops, Queensland Maroons kit and training ranges from Super Rugby and NRL sides.
Singlets make sense when it is warm or you are heading into the gym. Performance tees are the safer all-round option. Training shorts, trousers and quarter-zips fill in the rest when a full replica shirt would feel slightly committed for a Tuesday session.
If you already own the match shirt, training wear is usually where the second purchase gets more interesting.
Super Rugby, NRL and State of Origin Kits
This page gets a lot less formal once you move away from the internationals.
Super Rugby kit brings in the Crusaders, Blues, Chiefs, Hurricanes and Moana Pasifika, with training singlets, basketball-style tops and supporter pieces appearing across the collection.
Rugby league adds Rabbitohs, Warriors, Cowboys, Sharks, Dolphins and Knights kit, while State of Origin puts New South Wales Blues and Queensland Maroons shirts, training wear and shorts on the same rail.
That mix is part of the appeal. You can come looking for an All Blacks rugby shirt and leave considering a Crusaders singlet or Maroons training top instead.
Shop Adult Rugby Kits
Browse adult rugby kits by team, brand and product type. Start with international rugby shirts from New Zealand, South Africa, France, England, Wales, Scotland or Fiji, then move into Super Rugby, NRL and State of Origin kit if your loyalties sit elsewhere.
For matchday, look through replica rugby shirts. For sessions, head into rugby training wear and shorts. For something you will still pull out of the wardrobe away from the stadium, heritage polos and traditional rugby shirts are usually the better bet.
