Prime Day offers a ton of great flash sales, and we’ve highlighted some of the best below. Also keep an eye out for Amazon’s rugby section.
Adidas Predator Firm Ground Boots
Technically they are football boots, but the rugby world has been using them for many years, just like you, especially when playing as a defender.
Among the deals this year are the iconic adidas Predator boots, which have recently been given a makeover to celebrate their 30th anniversary. Previously available in rugby versions worn by Jonny Wilkinson and Brian O’Driscoll, they are now available exclusively for football.
Nonetheless, rugby players can still make use of them. Available in black, red and white, the Predator is instantly recognisable thanks to its synthetic upper and plastic sole, and is reasonably lightweight. It’s a good choice for when the ground is still hard, during pre-season and for budding sevens players.

England Men’s Rugby Shirts
The England Rugby Shirt Mens is likely to be updated soon as the price has dropped significantly on Amazon and Umbro.
While we wait for the new jersey, we can also take advantage of the fact that the old jersey is available for a bargain price. It is currently reduced from £75 to £23.60, and it would be rude not to buy it.
What’s even better is that England’s kits don’t change much, so it won’t really be noticeable that they’re old.

With that in mind, it’s always a good idea to stock up on new items when you can find a discount. This Canterbury shirt is currently over £10 off and is great for pre-season work both in the gym and on the field.
It also features Vapordri technology which helps deal with sweat, which is an added bonus.

Gritin Resistance Bands
As I’ve gotten older, I’ve become more reliant on warming up before playing rugby. If I don’t stretch properly, I can’t last more than five minutes on the pitch.
The key to my warm-up routine is using resistance bands. I have been doing this since I injured my quads 5 years ago. They are perfect for activating high-risk areas of the body before a game, such as the hamstrings and groin, and are equally useful for improving flexibility and mobility in areas such as the shoulders and knees.
