Rugby’s growing popularity in the US brings deal with World Rugby Shop

9/9/2022

 
Leading North American rugby retailer World Rugby Shop has become the latest distributor of Rugby Packaposts – the world’s first truly portable rugby posts with a regulation-height crossbar.

The deal makes it possible for rugby competition organisers, clubs, schools and others across the USA to purchase the posts direct from the World Rugby Shop online store, in addition to Packaworld’s USA online store.

Packaworld Chief Executive Peter Roberts said the high-quality inflatable posts could be set up in minutes and would enable training, tournaments and games to brought to more locations. Their versatility allows them to be used on a variety of different surfaces, including synthetic turf where new holes cannot be drilled for permanent posts.
“Rugby is still growing in the USA and it can be challenging for people to find parks with permanent rugby posts in some states. Rugby Packaposts overcome this issue by making it possible to play for real – with easily transportable rugby posts – on any grass or synthetic turf surface.

“We are proud of the role our portable goalposts are playing in boosting the sport’s accessibility and it’s fantastic to partner with World Rugby Shop to make them more easily available across the USA”

World Rugby Shop Chief Executive Bernard Frei said he was excited at the new possibilities the Rugby Packaposts would create for organisers of rugby programs and competitions.

“Their portability, easy set up, and convenient storage make them the perfect tool for bringing the game to schools, and for training and tournaments. We think these will be great sellers as rugby continues to grow in awareness and popularity in the US.”

In the years since its creation in 1999, World Rugby Shop has grown to become one of the world’s most respected rugby retailers. The company has garnered a strong reputation for quality and now supplies gear to people of all ages and levels of the game, from amateur through to professional.
