PROFESSIONAL GRADE HINGED RUGBY POSTS AVAILABLE INDIVIDUALLY OR AS A PAIR

FORZA Hinged World Cup Rugby Posts are the chosen specification for professional rugby clubs, elite stadiums and senior international tournaments. The aluminium rugby posts boast strength & longevity compared to competitors and are supplied with hinged adaptors for safer and simpler erecting/demounting. The posts require minimal maintenance and are supplied in sections for ease of transportation and storage. Posts comply to World Rugby & Rugby League International Federation Regulations when used with rugby post protectors (sold separately).

Raising & Lowering Rugby Posts: Due to their weights, the posts must be raised and lowered via a suitable grounds vehicle or tractor at a maximum speed of 3mph.

Rugby Post Lifting Tools: Upgrade and include one of the two types of post lifting tools to fit a grounds vehicle or tractor. One type bolts onto the roll bar of a grounds vehicle, the other type has a 3 point linkage arm that fits onto the tractor. Both tools feature a roller that the rugby post upright sits on and a safety strap. The rugby post upright simply moves along this roller when the vehicle/tractor is moving.

Rugby Post Protectors: It is mandatory to have rugby post protection pads in place to prevent collision injury. Net World Sports offers custom digitally printed pads on request. Click here to view/buy custom rugby post protectors.

Professional Installation: Professional concreting into ground and setup is required via a qualified grounds contractor.

Electric Cables & High Winds: A risk assessment of the installation site should be conducted to ensure no low hanging electrical cables are in the post erection area. In high winds and bad weather, we recommend lowering the rugby posts to prevent damage.

Net World Sports offers a wide range of Rugby equipment. For Rugby Post Protectors, Pro Corner Flag & Pole [Set of 4] and more, please see the essentials above.
