Rugby Gear - Bargain Alerts

errlloyd

Adidas.ie has a big sale on their website atm. You need to register and go "backstage" to get it, but they have great deals on some rugby training gear and official gear.

So far I've been browsing everything for a few mins and I've seen the Italian Home Jersey, France Jersey and Lions Jacket all 50% off, so in the kind of 30e region.

As well as boots, compression gear etc etc etc

errlloyd

It does include Munster home and away jerseys.

The "Official" stores are generally over-priced compared to other retailers.

Their sales any times I've looked at them are pretty underwhelming.

The Puma official store is by far the worst, shockingly awful.

Lovell are generally the best for sales. Pro-D Rugby used to treat the rugby site quite badly. Out-dated layout and stock not-updated with a higher shipping for the rugby site over soccer site. Improved recently so high hopes for them.

Rugbystore has really gone to pot now. Really hard to use and sales are even worse than before.

Just so people know Elverys are doing 50% off all Lions gear. That was in retail park Galway, so it might just be in the big stores

Saw that getting off the bus last week. It was a great little shop. Picked up a proper cotton Tolouse shirt in there a while ago.

It said they moved but I can't remember where to.

I am aware of it. The one time I tried the company refused the postcode in NI.

I do still have an account though.

I have never had an issue with parcel motel delivery from Lovell

Sorry I wasn't clear there. I tried with a different company, not lovell. I've always found lovell very pleasant and easy to deal with. Even having an order sent to a London address while I was briefly there with a straight-forward phone call.

It's works to cut down international shipping costs.
Some companies have free or low uk delivery costs.
You sign up to parcel motel, they give you a unique ref number. You tell them where your nearest collection point is (most decent towns have a parcel motel, it's a big yellow metal "wall" of storage boxes). You give the company you are buying from a Belfast address, avail of the cheap shipping, and parcel motel will deliver themselves to your collection point for a small fee. They send you a text to tell you it's ready for collection and give you a code. You type the code into the motel and hey presto the box door opens and your product is collected.

Thanks it was the bit with the belfast address that confused me. I have seen the yellow wall of boxes. So basicaly you use the belfast address to get it here cheap and then Parcel motel will deliver to a unit nearer you. Cool

Anyone know where I'd get a 2001 Lions jersey for 7/8 year old? Have searched ebay and the like but nothing doing. My son has his heart set on THAT jersey.

They fit a bit big in case anyone was thinking of getting one.

Yeah I have the Basque flag one. Shipping is a bit expensive, but my GF lives in London so I got a few bits delivered to her. Not sure if its cheaper to ship to Parcel Motel.

Few Munster training bits reduced as well. Got the Training T-Shirt, Hoodie and Tacksuit Pants. All v.good quality.

Lovell is great for getting a few bits very cheap.

Morf

I have the 1st Puma Basque flag jersey they did.

10 quid each and parcel motel is tempting though.

I like the look of these boots but am not sure about using them on astro-turf:

I think using studs on astro-turf is lethal. You'll pick up all sorts of running injuries imo.

dave13

Most astro-turf places wont let you wear boots with studs, some wont even allow blades.
Get astro-turf runners.

pickarooney

Maybe astro-turf is not the right term, but I mean synthetic outdoor pitches. Most people wear studs but I've always had blades myself up to now. Might just stick with what I know!

Parcel Motel is €3.50 per delivery, how much does your GF charge you?

They look like replacably studs, so if you just buy some shorter studs in a shop and replace them they'll be fine on the "3G" or "4G" style (Rugby/Soccer/GAA) Astro pitches you're talking about. (the ones filled with rubber pellets right).

That said I've always worn blades or mouldies on those pitches, whenever I try boots with removable studs I find I get pressure points and blisters.

I was in Sports World in Blanchardstown yesterday and there were 3 racks of Leinster gear on sale. I picked up a pair of tracksuit bottoms €20, two Leinster hoodies €25 each and the old Leinster European jersey with the grey writing for €20. There was a good selection of sizes in each and also shorts, polo shirts t-shirts there too. Well worth a gander.

Yep seems to be in sports world nationwide. Picked up a pair of those tasty track suit bottoms as well

Rigor Mortis

Thanks for this. A very big selection of sizes and gear.

Anyone know where I can get a pair of the waterproof Ireland or Leinster bottoms? In dire need of a pair.

No bother, found them already. Was looking in all the wrong places.

Lovell-rugby or rugbystore.co.uk will have loads of contacts bottoms without club/country branding for a fair bit cheaper.

Are they properly water proof?

I have France player issue ones (from lovell years back) that are decent enough but have the benefit of being lined and quite warm too.

There are stock CCC ones the same as Leinster/IRFU branded ones cheaper (before shipping), I think the TCR training version might even be better quality.

Yeah, I was on Lovell there which again isn't too exciting. Elvers's are doing their own brand cheap enough in the sales so I might go with that.
