France XV and All Blacks: the two kits that inspire dreams
The kit of the France XV and that of the All Blacks remain the two great classics for young supporters. The first, blue and marked with the rooster, accompanies each match of the Blues during the Six Nations Tournament and the autumn tests. The second, fully black decorated with the silver fern, evokes the haka performed by the New Zealanders against their opponents before kick-off. For the most passionate, the Blues' kit can have the name and number of their favourite player on the back. The children's versions faithfully reproduce the colours and crests of the official kit.

Springboks, Scotland, Wales, Italy: supporting another nation
Many children develop a passion for a foreign nation. The Springboks, crowned world champions in 2023 at the Stade de France, are supported with an easy-to-wear t-shirt for everyday use. Scotland, nicknamed the Thistle XV, offers a zip-up sweatshirt and socks, some of which are from its rugby sevens team. Wales, whose crest bears three feathers, comes in printed t-shirt, zip-up hoodie, and fitted polo. Finally, Italy dresses young players in socks in the colours of the Azzurri.
T-shirt, sweatshirt or kit: which item for which moment
The choice depends on the occasion. The kit, made of technical polyester, is reserved for match days, whether at the stadium or in front of the screen, and for youth tournaments. The t-shirt, simpler, can be worn to school without any special care and is washed with the weekly laundry. The sweatshirt, either zip-up or hooded, takes over from November to March, when the autumn tests and then the Tournament are played in the cold. The high socks in the colours of a team serve both for training and to show support, while the polo is suitable for smarter outings.

Frequently asked questions
When is the Six Nations Tournament played?
The Tournament is held every year in February and March, with each team playing five matches. It pits France against England, Scotland, Ireland, Wales, and Italy, which joined in 2000.
Why do the All Blacks perform the haka?
The haka is a traditional Māori dance that the All Blacks perform before their matches to challenge their opponents and honour their culture. The most famous, Ka Mate, has alternated with a second haka, Kapa o Pango, since 2005.
How is a kit personalised?
The name and number are cut from a textile film and then applied heat to the back of the kit. To last, the personalised kit should be washed inside out, at low temperature, and never ironed directly on the marking.
What is rugby sevens?
Rugby sevens is played on a standard-sized pitch, with seven players per team and halves of seven minutes. Fast and spectacular, it has been an Olympic discipline since the Rio Games in 2016.
Why is Scotland called the Thistle XV?
The thistle is the national emblem of Scotland and adorns the crest of its national team. According to legend, it betrayed invading Vikings who came at night, their cries of pain when stepping on it waking the defenders.
