I just found this rugby union fabric from ReproDepot today. DH was (as usual) disappointed that it wasn't League, but I figure beggars can't be choosers.

Blue background

Ivory background

Would be a totally cute kid's room item. Or, in my case, something I have to try to work into a grown man's wardrobe.

Hi - I'm intrigued - I didn't think Rugby Union or Rugby League were very big in the USA. Does your DH watch it on cable or something?
My DH just loves both footy codes. Very disappointed that NZ beat us in the Bledisloe Cup, but pleased of course that we beat Sth Africa.
Nice fabric by the way. Maybe some boxer shorts for your DH ?

No, he can't watch it here in the US, he has to watch it on the computer (which is something I jumped for JOY about when I found out, I might add-- no more endless rugby matches every weekend). He's actually from England but we lived in NZ so he follows the Warriors. He can watch from Channel 9's website or something. He's not fond of Union but... he'll make do. I just asked him what he wants for his birthday next week. "Best of the Footy Show" dvd's to watch on the computer. (OK, so it's pretty funny, but still, I don't like to encourage that sort of thing. Well, maybe the Vomitron...)

Boxers is a great idea!

Great fabric Kristine ! While we are Aussie Rules fans, I did a search this year in Aus. for rugby fabric as my DH loves rugby jumpers! (I still don't ' get ' rugby of either code! )

I just laughed and laughed and laughed at that one (so childish, I know, but the look on Fatty's face was just too funny). I'm thinking I might give in and buy the "Best Of" dvd for DH's Xmas pressent.
