Who has the best RWC kits? Check them out. Please note that all strips are generally made in two versions- one is the test one, which the players wear, and the other is the replica. There may be minor differences between the two.
Group A
England RWC 2015 Shirts (Canterbury)
Hosts England will wearing Canterbury at the 2015 Rugby World Cup (they wore Nike uniforms at RWC 2011). They will be having a red alternate kit, and the red jersey will get a run out in the opening match of RWC 2015 against Fiji
Australia RWC 2015 Jerseys (Asics)
The Wallabies wore KooGa at the 2011 edition of the tournament in New Zealand, but have switched to Asics for RWC 2015.
Wales Rugby World Cup Tops 2015 (Under Armour)
Unlike the other two heavyweights in this group, Wales’ kit partners are the same from 2011- Under Armour. How much will Warren Gatland’s side be affected by the loss of Rhys Webb and Leigh Halfpenny?
Fiji RWC Jerseys 2015 (BLK)
The Flying Fijians are the outsiders in Group A, but will have a big say in deciding who qualifies from this extremely tight group
Uruguay RWC Shirt 2015
Los Teros will be outfitted by KooGa for RWC 2015.
Group B
South Africa RWC Jerseys 2015 (Asics)
The Boks wore Canterbury at RWC 2011, but have now switched to Asics, and will be seeking for an encore of their 2007 triumph in NH conditions.
Manu Samoa RWC Jerseys 2015 (BLK)
Despite their off field struggles in recent years, Samoa remain a strong Tier 2 outfit, and will fancy their chances of making it out of the group with the Springboks.
Scotland RWC Tops 2015 (Macron)
The Scots are the only team at the 2015 Rugby World Cup to wear Macron. They wore Canterbury at RWC 2011.
Japan Rugby World Cup Shirts 2015 (Canterbury)
The Brave Blossoms, coached by Eddie Jones, have the same manufacturer from 2011- Canterbury. They are the only Asian team to take part in the tournament.
United States RWC Jerseys 2015 (BLK)
The Eagles’ Sevens team has made great progress in the last few years. Can their 15 member counterparts match up at RWC 2015? Kit partners changed from Canterbury to BLK
Group C
New Zealand RWC 2015 Jersey (Adidas)
The All Blacks, defending champions for this year’s World Cup, will be wearing the “blackest jersey” ever at RWC 2015.
Argentina RWC 2015 shirts (Nike)
Los Pumas will be the only team at RWC 2015 to wear Nike.
Tonga RWC 2015 Strips (Kukri)
Like Argentina, Tonga will also be the only team wearing their kit partners’ creations. Ikale Tahi will be outfitted by Kukri Sports
Nambia RWC Jumpers 2015 (Canterbury)
Georgia RWC Shirts 2015 (Under Armour)
The Lelos will be wearing Under Armour at Rugby World Cup 2015. They wore KooGa at RWC 2011 in New Zealand.
Group D
Ireland RWC Strips 2015 (Canterbury)
Ireland are the reigning 6 Nations champions and have made great strides under Joe Schmidt. They have a fairly favourable draw too and should they win this group as expected, they’ll fancy their chances of making it to the semis, and maybe even further. The Irish wore Puma at the last World Cup.
France Rugby World Cup Uniforms 2015 (Adidas)
Les Bleus have switched from Nike to Adidas. They made it to the final in 2011, but no one, not even themselves, know how far they’ll go this year. Can beat the best on their day, can lose to the worst on the same day.
Italy RWC Shirt 2015 (Adidas)
Italy were outfitted by Kappa at the last World Cup. There will be no Kappa team at this year’s World Cup, with the Italians now wearing Adidas.
Canada RWC Jerseys (Under Armour)
The Canadians will be one of three teams to wear RWC strips made by Under Armour, along with Wales and Georgia. They wore KooGa at the 2011 Wold Cup.
Romania Shirts Rugby World Cup 2015 (BLK)
Romania, another 2011 KooGa team that will wear BLK this year, have a pair of quite nice looking jerseys.
RWC 2011 Shirts by Manufacturer
Puma and Kappa have disappeared from RWC 2015. 19 of the 20 teams at RWC 2015 were also present at RWC 2011- the only difference is Russia at RWC 2011 who have been replaced by Uruguay.
Nike– England, France (2)
KooGa– Australia, Samoa, Fiji, Canada, Romania, Georgia, Tonga (7)
Under Armour– Wales (1)
Canterbury– South Africa, USA, Japan, Scotland, Namibia, Russia (6)
Puma-Ireland (1)
Kappa– Italy (1)
Adidas– New Zealand, Argentina (1)
Best kits have been made by BLK. Some real crackers in there.
Worst, I’d say is a toss up between Under Armour and Canterbury. Dull as dishwater some of those jerseys. Poor Georgia and Namibia!
My favs would be Romania, Scotland and Argentina.
