Rugby equipment shipped in 24H

moulding a mouthguard just before a match

The mouthguard can be shaped at home. You dip it in very hot water for the time indicated in the instructions, ranging from twenty seconds to just over a minute depending on the model, then quickly put it under cold water to avoid burns. Place it on the upper arch, bite firmly and suck to press the material against your teeth and gums. It's best to do this moulding at least the day before, to check that it stays in place without being held by the tongue and allows you to breathe and talk. Many models can be remoulded if the first attempt is unsuccessful.

Helmet and Shoulder Pads: Measure Before Ordering

For a helmet, measure the head circumference with a tape measure above the eyebrows and ears, then refer to the brand's guide. For shoulder pads, it's the chest measurement, taken under the arms, that guides the choice. If you're between two sizes, choose the more fitted one: protection that's too loose moves with contact and leaves sensitive areas exposed. For children, never choose a size up to anticipate growth. Helmets and shoulder pads must bear the World Rugby label to be accepted in matches.

Ball, Socks, Studs: The Pre-Match Kit

Some items simply make it impossible to play. A punctured ball needs replacing with a model of the right size, five for adults, four or three for youth categories. A pair of socks in the club colours left in a changing room can be purchased in the exact size to avoid blisters. Spare studs and their key solve the problem of a lost or rounded stud, within the twenty-one millimetres set by World Rugby. A care kit filled with tape and band-aids completes this emergency kit to slip into the bag.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if a mouthguard fits well?

It stays in place when you open your mouth without having to clench your teeth, and covers the entire upper arch up to the molars. If it falls or hinders breathing, remould it or change the size.

What size ball for a ten-year-old?

Around ten years old, you generally switch from size three to size four, depending on the category and club habits. The easiest way is to ask the coach what size is used at training.

Are non-slip socks necessary for playing rugby?

They are not mandatory, but they reduce foot slippage in the shoe and thus help prevent blisters. Players who care about them often wear them under the club-coloured socks, shortened at the foot.

What mouthguard for a player with braces?

A specific model, softer and wider, that covers the brackets without moulding over them. Consult the orthodontist before returning to contact, and avoid moulding a standard mouthguard over the braces.

How long to keep a mouthguard?

As long as it stays in place and is not punctured or deformed. In young players, dental development is fast: it's often replaced every year. Rinse it after each use and store it in its ventilated case.
