Best Christmas Boy Toys for a Rugby Fan

We aren’t on the countdown just yet, but we really want to help you get ahead of the Christmas shopping game—if you pardon the pun. For all we know you might be one of those last minute shoppers who dash out on Christmas eve and come home with the last thing left on the shelf. At least this way we can get you on the right tracks looking for a proper rugby-lovers present to bring home for Christmas, it’s that simple. So, keeping that ethos in mind, we have put together a little list of possible options for you to choose from when you are hunting for the ideal gift for Christmas.

For the budding fan

Budding fans can be anything from new born to about 6, in our estimation. That’s when they start to get old enough to get what the game is about and learn to appreciate it. After age seven, there’s every chance they are going to be a fan for life. So, getting them on the road to fandom we have a little onesie that we love. Available in red the suit is small enough to fit a newborn and enough to go up to 24 months. If you are an All Blacks family get your little ‘un this dinky little jersey and shorts kit, which goes up to 18 months in age.

Buying for older kids

As they grow they will want some of the proper team garb, so how about a winter wear hoodie for those chilly evenings out on the rugby field? And, just to make sure their growing legs don’t freeze, how about a neat pair of trackie bottoms to finish the set?

Adults and big Kids

It doesn’t matter how old your rugby fan is, most of them are big kids at heart, and the love of the game will keep them young spirited. If your rugby lover wants something neat for Christmas try our equipment page to see just what we have to offer in the way of bags, balls, backpacks, holdalls and other brilliant items. Go one, take a look, it’s all here, waiting for you.

Adidas Adizero RS7 PRO XTRX SGII

This particular model is the world’s fastest rugby and endorsed by the Welsh rugby team. The main advantage of these boots is that they are lightweight, providing the opportunity to sprint at high speed. They are also extremely comfortable, supported with appropriate strapping inside the shoe. The shape of the boot is fantastic, with well-designed lacing.

Adidas Predator RX XTRX SG

These particular boots are well known and designed. They are worn by famous players such as Jonny Wilkinson and Dan Carter. Made with full-grain leather which keeps the boot in good condition and comfortable. The Predator aspect to this boot allows for more accurate control of the ball. This boot is recommended for anyone who kicks frequently.

Lethal Tigreor 5ST

These particular boots provide high performance and durability. We like these boots as they are a great price and lightweight at the same time as providing comfort. These boots are also designed with shock absorption in mind.

Evolution X BLK 6S

This retro-style model is made from microfibre which has the advantage of providing the user with durability while keeping the boot light. Players who wear their boots often will love this model as they have a heel cushioning system for comfort. You will feel perfectly supported when wearing these. The grip on these boots are also fantastic, meaning you will have a great game.

Classic FTX LCHT Boot

These boots are designed with speed and comfort in mind. The tongue is held down meaning there is more area to kick the ball with. This aims to give better ball contact. Top players will feel like these boots fit well due to the way the sole is designed.
