Being a member club of the RFU comes with all sorts of benefits but some clubs are missing out on the opportunity to get special rates on training equipment and kit available through RFU partners. There’s an impressive list available from partners including:

Nike - Official and exclusive supplier of sportswear to the RFU and all England Teams, who produce a rugby range specifically for clubs which can be accessed through your  RDO.

Rhino - Official Supplier of Scrummaging Machines, Contact and Training Equipment to the RFU and England Rugby. The RFU strongly recommends an annual service by Rhino of their scrum machines to ensure player safety. In the November Touchline Rhino will be offering a special 10% discount to RFU member clubs on their new Collision King product as used currently by the England squad, and on a new range of contact equipment.
