About Us

First XV was set up as a family run business in 2000. 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 travelling 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 short journey out of the centre of town to ensure they get the Authentic and Official Macron Scotland Rugby Kit which is lacking in the tourist stores.

We have only and will only ever stock Authentic and Official Rugby merchandise and kit dealing direct with the world's most prestigious rugby brands such as Adidas, Asics, Canterbury, Macron, Opro, Under Armour and Skins.

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.  We have playing experience in every position on the pitch, from prop to wing and nippers in minis as well.  Therefore our life experience makes us personally qualified to give out the best advice about our product range from rugby boots to shoulderand head protection. 

First XV has been trading online @ rugbystuff.com since 2003, we have had quite a few websites along the way but we hope you agree our latest is the best yet.  We love good customer service at First XV and we will always endeavour to dispatch your order safely and as quickly as possible.  We also want to treat all our customers fairly - so you'll find all our prices are consistent whether you chose to shop instore or online.  

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 opposition's kit as well. We will usually extend our opening hours around the kick off time to allow for an after-match shopping experience.
