The colours of your selection, from a previous series.
The France XV, from rooster to the stands
The France XV played its first official test match on January 1, 1906, against New Zealand, at the Parc des Princes. The rooster, a symbol inherited from Gaul, has been on the players' chests since the early twentieth century, on a blue shirt paired with white shorts and red socks. France hosted the World Cup in 2007 and again in 2023, with the official scarf being a sought-after souvenir. The home shirt is available in adult, child, and authentic versions, while the away shirt, often white, offers a rarer alternative in the stands.

Springboks, the antelope and the green and gold
The Springboks derived their name from a small antelope from Southern Africa, adopted as an emblem during the 1906 tour of the British Isles. Their green shirt with gold collar and trims has become one of the most recognisable in world rugby globally. South Africa won the World Cup in 1995, at home, and then again in 2007, 2019, and 2023, making it one of the most successful nations. The Springboks' range extends beyond the shirt: polo for the city, sleeveless training top, half-zip sweatshirt, home and away t-shirts, and a sleeveless down jacket for winter stands.
Rose, thistle, feathers: the emblems of the Tournament
Each nation in the Six Nations Tournament has an emblem embroidered on the heart. England plays in white with a red rose, Scotland in navy blue with the thistle, its national flower. Wales plays in red under the three feathers of the Prince of Wales, and Italy, which joined the Tournament in 2000, wears the azure blue of the House of Savoy, leading to the nickname Azzurri given to its players. Each team also has an away shirt in different colours, worn when the two teams might clash on the field.
Supporter version or authentic: two cuts
The selection shirt comes in two cuts. The supporter version, made of thicker mesh and with a straight cut, is easily worn at the stadium, in the city, or over a t-shirt on match nights. The authentic version is what the players wear: lightweight and stretchy fabric, it has a very fitted cut that provides no grip for the opponent, with heat-sealed logos for added lightness. It fits much closer to the body: it's common to take a size up from your usual size if you want to wear it daily. Both versions feature the federation crest and the same design.
Frequently asked questions
Why is it called Six Nations?
The Tournament includes England, Scotland, Ireland, Wales, France, and Italy. It took this name in 2000, when Italy's entry transformed the Five Nations Tournament, previously contested by British nations, Ireland, and France.
What is a test match in rugby?
A test match refers to an official game between two national teams, which counts in the history and statistics of each team. Summer and autumn tours between North and South Hemisphere nations typically feature several each year.
How do you wash a selection shirt?
It should be turned inside out before washing, on a delicate cycle at a maximum of thirty degrees and without fabric softener, which can damage the technical fibers. The drying should be done flat or on a hanger, never in a tumble dryer, to ensure that the crest and logos do not peel off.
What supporter accessories should you take to the stadium?
The knitted scarf in your nation's colours keeps you warm in the stands during autumn tests and the Tournament, which takes place in February and March. The flag is waved at the entrance of the players and during the anthems, and can be rolled up and stored in a bag.
What size rugby shirt should I get for a child?
Children's shirts are chosen based on the age indicated on the size guide, while checking the child's height in centimetres. Taking a size up allows room for growth and enables the shirt to be worn longer.
