A short that withstands contact.
A durable short
In rugby, shorts are put to the test: they are gripped during tackles, rub against the ground in rucks, and stretch in scrums. They are therefore made from a tough fabric, thicker than football shorts, with reinforced seams and a sturdy elastic waistband, often with a cord. The fit is short and snug, to provide less grip for the opponent and allow full freedom of movement for the legs during runs and pushes.

All clothing is gathered on the clothing page.
For the club
Club shorts, such as the Canterbury Professional, Force XV, a French rugby brand, Uhlsport, or the woven Hummel, come in various colours to match the team's jerseys. The women's Canterbury Advantage short is tailored to the players' bodies. The longer bermuda Force XV is worn during training. The fitted thermo shorts from Canterbury are worn under the short: they support the muscles, reduce friction, and keep warmth in cold weather.
The club shorts
Supporters also wear their teams' colours. The Stade Toulousain, France's most titled club, offers training shorts and third. Montpellier Hérault Rugby, or MHR, has home, away, and third match shorts. Stade Français, Racing 92, and RC Toulon complete the selection from the Top 14. The XV de France short, in supporter version, and the all-black short for the All Blacks, celebrate the national teams. Shorts are washed at thirty degrees.

Frequently asked questions
Why are rugby shorts so short?
A short and fitted cut offers less grip for the opponent in tackles and rucks, and allows freedom of movement for the thighs to run and push in scrums.
What size rugby short should I choose?
The short should fit snugly: take your usual size, or the one below if you're between two sizes. A corded waistband allows for fine adjustments so it doesn't slip down during tackles.
What is the purpose of thermal shorts?
Worn under the short, like the Thermoreg from Canterbury, they support the thigh muscles, reduce friction, and keep warm in cold weather. Many players wear them year-round.
Can a rugby short be used for other sports?
Its tough fabric and short cut are suitable for cross-training or gym work. However, for long runs, it's heavier and less breathable than a running short.
Is the supporter XV de France short the same as the players'?
It features the official colours and logo, with a more comfortable fit for everyday wear. The players' shorts, which are more technical, are tailored close to the body and reinforced for match contacts.
