About Rugby Atlas

Rugby Atlas is built by one person in Cambridge, UK, who plays rugby and got tired of what searching for rugby kit returns: buying guides written years ago, listicles generated by AI, and specs that don't match the boot in the box.

The fix isn't another blog. It's a database. Rugby Atlas tracks rugby equipment sold in the UK as structured, sourced, dated facts, verified by a human before anything publishes and re-checked on a schedule afterwards.

Pages are rendered from that database, so when the data updates, every page updates with it. The full rules are on themethodology page.

It started with boots, because that's where the need was worst. The atlas now covers eight categories: boots, balls, protective gear, tackle bags and pads, scrum machines and posts on the equipment side, plus a directory of UK rugby clubs and BUCS university rugby.

Live retailer prices and stock are the next addition, with photographs arriving alongside.
