The brand of clubs, at discounted prices.
Force XV, a French brand serving clubs
Force XV gets its name from rugby union, with the XV referring in Roman numerals to the number of players in a team. Fully dedicated to the oval ball, this French brand primarily targets amateur clubs and rugby schools, providing a catalog for dressing, protecting, and training their players. Its textile ranges remain available from year to year, allowing a club to replenish its kits over time without changing models.

Shoulder pads Force XV: protecting players in contact
The shoulder pads Force XV come in adult and children sizes. Lightweight, they cover the shoulders and upper torso to absorb the impact of tackles and rucks without hindering arm movement. They particularly reassure young players who are new to contact. They are selected based on chest size, fitted to the body under the shirt, and one should check the World Rugby certification before wearing them in an official match, as indicated by the label.
Victory range, bags and coach parkas: a club's equipment
The Victory range includes jerseys, jackets, and sweatshirts in coordinated colours, to dress a team from training to matches. The ball bags carry the training equipment, and the wheeled bags make transporting kits and gear easier. On the touchline, the coach parka keeps coaches and substitutes warm. Shorts, including a version cut for female players, and match socks complete the playing outfit.
