Redefining the role of the rugby kit man

I remember the days when, if you wanted your clothes to show off your rugby-loving credentials, you had to turn up the collar on your old-school rugby shirt when you walked into the uni bar.

Now things are a bit different thanks to the growing availability of what might be termed 'rugby leisurewear'. Outfitters such as In the Scrum are producing versatile lines, although whether I succeed in carrying them off is another matter.

In the Scrum's range incorporates clothing for those of a French persuasion as well as supporters of the home nations, so it's worth checking out if you want to sport something a touch different this Six Nations.
