France rugby training jersey 2025 men Adidas

This training jersey reproduces the one worn by the French XV during their preparation sessions. It is aimed at any amateur rugby player or demanding fan looking for a technical, lightweight and environmentally friendly product. The regular fit guarantees total freedom of movement, the V-neck avoids neck chafing, and the recycled polyester ensures sweat evacuation and quick drying. The Purple/Powder Plum colourway is directly inspired by the lavender fields of Provence, a nod to the French XV's summer 2024 tour in the south.

Designed for training

Adidas developed this piece in collaboration with the FFR to meet the demands of players in the preparation phase: mechanical resistance (tears, pulls), maximum breathability, no irritating seams at the shoulders. The light weight (approximately 140 g/m²) limits the feeling of heaviness at the end of a session, even when wet.

Care tips

Cold wash (30 °C maximum) to preserve the recycled fibres and colour intensity. Air dry only — a tumble dryer would degrade the fabric's elasticity. Avoid fabric softener, which clogs technical knits and reduces breathability. Gentle ironing inside out if necessary, medium temperature (110 °C), no steam on the logos.

Design

Adidas AEROREADY recycled polyester wicks sweat to the outer surface of the fabric thanks to a micro-perforated honeycomb knit, invisible to the naked eye but decisive for thermal comfort. The V-neck eliminates any discomfort in the scrum or during contact, unlike the crew neck that rides up under the chin. Flat side seams remove underarm chafing during tackles or repeated passes. The reduced weight (approximately 140 g/m²) does not compromise strength: Adidas uses high-tenacity yarn that easily withstands the tears typical of rugby training.

French national team

The French XV competes in the Six Nations Championship and regularly reaches the final stages of the Rugby World Cup. The team trains at the Centre national de rugby in Marcoussis (Essonne) and holds camps across the regions — the lavender colourway of this 2025 collection echoes the summer 2024 preparation held in Provence before the tour of Argentina. Antoine Dupont (scrum-half, interim captain in 2023) and Fabien Galthié (head coach since 2020) embody the current ambition of the blue squad.

Brand

Adidas has supplied the French Rugby Federation since 2018, succeeding Le Coq Sportif. The three-stripe brand provides match kits, training wear and lifestyle ranges for the men's, women's and sevens France teams. Its textile expertise — notably AEROREADY technology — meets the thermoregulation and mechanical resistance requirements specific to high-level rugby.
