As a club we couldn’t be happier with our relationship with the R80 Teamwear supply. Our members love the gear, the
quality is first class and delivery is on time.  Its great to work with a
company that loves rugby as much as we do and understands the needs of grassroots country clubs.

Richard Maw Club President Methven Rugby Football Club

Mid Canterbury Rugby has used R80 teamwear for 5 years and couldn't be happier. Excellent quality, excellent range, and most importantly very rapid turnaround on custom wear from order to delivery when compared to other suppliers.

Ian Patterson CEO Mid Canterbury Rugby Union 2012-2021

We have had fantastic experiences dealing the R80 team over the last 4 years. Right from the start, we had nothing but great service from the R80 team. We were delighted by the final products R80 produced. Our Playing kit design had some intricate Maori designs that look amazing. We often get comments from opposition teams about our kit. Time frames were always met, and the quality of the final products to a high standard. We highly recommend R80 products to any organisation.

In 2018, the Cook Islands Rugby Union engaged the services and product for R80 to kit out our national Men’s First XV team for Rugby World Cup Qualifier matches v Hong Kong. Service and response from R80 were top notch and we really pressed them regarding turnaround times. Nevertheless, they were able to come up with all the kit that was ordered and gave some very favourable discounts due to the amount of our order. The gear itself is top quality.

Sean Smith President Cook Islands Rugby Union

After several samples and quotes from various sports apparel companies, we simply could not look past R80. They had everything and more, what we were after. We had the luxury of designing our own uniform and whatever we suggested, they simply ran with it and made it work. The quality is second to none!!  No matter the forecast, we stay comfortable and get on with the task. They are always friendly and accommodate us at any time. The feedback we receive on a weekly basis about the uniform quality, how sharp we look, and bang for our buck has exceeded, and still is exceeding our expectations. It is a easy decision really - Go R80!!

The quality of R80's training products is great, and they've elevated our training sessions. The hit shields, in particular, are a top product. Their convenience is unbeatable - they come in a carry bag, making
them perfect for travel, and the quick setup allows us to maximize our training
