About First XV

First XV was set up as a family run business over nine years ago. The brief then, which we stick to today, was to set up a specialist rugby store that would cater to Edinburgh's fanatical rugby enthusiasts who we felt were being left out by the trend towards large out of town sports retailers specialising in tracksuits and trainers. Not only have we fulfilled this for our loyal local customers, we have seen customers traveling large distances across Scotland for that must have piece of rugby kit. Not to mention Edinburgh's massive tourist population, who will think nothing of the small journey out of the centre of town to ensure they get the Authentic and Official Canterbury Scotland Kit which is lacking in the tourist stores.

All the staff and partners at First XV have a rugby background. We have first hand experience of playing rugby and the many injuries suffered along the way and can therefore give out the best advice available about our product range from rugby boots to shoulder and head protection .

First XV has been trading online @ rugbystuff.com since 2003 and has seen sales dramatically increasing year on year. In January of 2009 we launced our brand new website which has many new user friendly functions designed to create a superb shopping experience for our customers. It is our policy that, where possible, everything seen on the site and the sizes displayed as being available are in stock and ready for immediate dispatch.

As well as our own site, we also operate a successful clearance outlet through eBay where some of our best bargains can be found. Click here to see what is available now @ firstxv-rugbystuff-clearance and to see our superb 99.8% postive feedback.

For those familiar with Edinburgh, we are located on the main road between the city centre and Scotland's home ground at Murrayfield Stadium. If you are lucky enough to be in Edinburgh on an international match day you will find us extremely busy and packed with Scotland gear and of course the oppositions kit as well. We will usually extend our opening hours around the kick off time to allow for an after-match shopping experience.

The shop is situated at 6/8 Haymarket Terrace. Heading west from Haymarket Train Station, we are approximately 50 metres walk, located on the right hand side.
