Wales' new rugby shirt: How much Macron kit costs, when it's on sale and where to buy it

Wales have released their new kit ahead of the autumn campaign.

The shirt is the first by new kit manufacturers Macron, with Wayne Pivac's side's October 24 clash with France set to be the first time we see it in action.

The kit was unveiled at a joint men's and women's launch, worn by Wales internationals Jonathan Davies, Ross Moriarty, Siwan Lillicrap and Gwen Crabb against a backdrop of jerseys from the community game in Wales.

The home kit draws upon several Welsh motifs, with a red dragon embossed on the back of the jersey, a pattern made up of the WRU’s three feather logo.

Here’s all the key pricing information and release details...

When does the new Wales rugby kit go on sale?

The kits, along with the new training gear, are available to buy from 11am on October 14.

Where can I buy the new Wales kit?

The new Wales jerseys are available exclusively from the WRU both online and at its flagship store in Cardiff, as well as Macron stores.

The training kit will hit wider retail outlets on October 16, with the playing kit becoming available more widely from October 21.

The replica jersey is priced at £70 and the bespoke, authentic playing jersey retails at £96.

The replica version comes both in cotton and polyester, with a more versatile supporters fit which is available across male and female and junior sizing.

Those prices match or beat all Guinness Six Nations competitors in like for like categories.
