This jumper reads that role back as a list of traits, confidence, intelligence, ambition, speed, the lot, and any number seven or six who pulls it on knows it is describing them. It is worn by the openside who lives at the breakdown and the blindside who hits rucks like a freight train, the sort who treats eighty minutes of graft as the best part of the week. Made from thick 280gsm cotton-rich fabric with a soft cotton face, it is built for the cold touchline and the long Saturday that follows, warm enough to wear over training kit and tough enough to survive being slung in a kit bag.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is the kind of jumper a back-row forward actually reaches for, on the way to the ground, on the sofa watching the internationals, or in the clubhouse long after the floodlights go off. We call all of these jumpers, by the way, never sweatshirts, because that is what the rugby crowd calls them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Thinking Behind The Flanker Definition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe design plays on the dictionary-definition format, but instead of a dry entry it lists the qualities every good flanker carries onto the pitch. It works because it is half boast and half in-joke: outsiders read a list of words, the back row reads a mirror. There is real pride in it too. Flankers rarely get the headlines that the fly-half or the winger gets, so a jumper that quietly states what the job demands feels earned rather than flash. We kept the styling restrained so the words carry the weight, and it sits naturally alongside the rest of our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/rugby-sweatshirts\"\u003erugby sweatshirts\u003c\/a\u003e built for players who take the game seriously. The 280gsm weight matters here, because a back-row jumper has to handle being worn hard and washed often without thinning out or losing its shape at the cuffs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eRugby Sweatshirt That Gets It Right\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA jumper aimed at flankers has to feel as solid as the player wearing it, and this one does. No flimsy fabric, no print that peels after three washes, just a heavy, warm jumper with a clean design that says exactly what it means. Our jumpers carry 1,800+ verified reviews from buyers who come back for the weight and the fit, and the generous cut suits a forward's frame rather than pinching across the shoulders. Wear it to training on a frosty evening and the right teammates will clock the definition straight away, because every one of them has spent a season being exactly the player it describes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eRugby Sweatshirt FAQ\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is this rugby sweatshirt made from and how is it printed?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis rugby sweatshirt is made from thick 280gsm fabric, 80% ringspun cotton and 20% polyester, with a soft cotton-faced inside. The flanker definition design is printed to a high standard so it stays crisp and readable through repeated washing, never cracking or fading on the warm cotton face.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does the sizing fit on this jumper?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe jumper has a generous fit that suits a forward's build, so it sits roomy across the chest and shoulders rather than tight. Sizing is true to the size chart, so order your normal size for a comfortable layer you can wear over training kit on a cold touchline.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow quickly does it ship and can the flanker design be personalised?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrders are printed within 1 to 2 production days and shipped on a 1 to 3 day UK service. The flanker definition is a set design and cannot be personalised, which keeps the price fair and gets your jumper printed and out the door faster.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWho is the flanker definition jumper best for?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is best for the openside or blindside flanker who does the hard yards at the breakdown and quietly knows their worth. It makes a spot-on gift for a back-row teammate, a rugby-playing partner, or any forward who lives for the tackle count and the turnover.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rugby Nut","offers":[{"title":"X-Small \/ Jet Black","offer_id":42641320444075,"sku":"JH030-JBK-XS","price":32.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Small \/ Jet Black","offer_id":42641320476843,"sku":"JH030-JBK-S","price":32.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Medium \/ Jet Black","offer_id":42641320509611,"sku":"JH030-JBK-M","price":32.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Large \/ Jet Black","offer_id":42641320542379,"sku":"JH030-JBK-L","price":32.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"X-Large \/ Jet Black","offer_id":42641320575147,"sku":"JH030-JBK-XL","price":32.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"2X-Large \/ Jet Black","offer_id":42641320607915,"sku":"JH030-JBK-2XL","price":32.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"3X-Large \/ Jet Black","offer_id":42641320640683,"sku":"JH030-JBK-3XL","price":33.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"4X-Large \/ Jet Black","offer_id":42641320673451,"sku":"JH030-4XL-JBK","price":33.69,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"5X-Large \/ Jet Black","offer_id":42641320706219,"sku":"JH030-5XL-JBK","price":34.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"X-Small \/ Fire Red","offer_id":42641320738987,"sku":"JH030-XS-FIR","price":32.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Small \/ Fire Red","offer_id":42641320771755,"sku":"JH030-S-FIR","price":32.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Medium \/ Fire Red","offer_id":42641320804523,"sku":"JH030-M-FIR","price":32.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Large \/ Fire Red","offer_id":42641320837291,"sku":"JH030-L-FIR","price":32.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"X-Large \/ Fire Red","offer_id":42641320870059,"sku":"JH030-XL-FIR","price":32.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"2X-Large \/ Fire Red","offer_id":42641320902827,"sku":"JH030-2XL-FIR","price":32.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"3X-Large \/ Fire Red","offer_id":42641320935595,"sku":"JH030-3XL-FIR","price":33.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"X-Small \/ Oxford Navy","offer_id":42641320968363,"sku":"JH030-XS-OXN","price":32.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Small \/ Oxford Navy","offer_id":42641321001131,"sku":"JH030-S-OXN","price":32.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Medium \/ Oxford Navy","offer_id":42641321033899,"sku":"JH030-M-OXN","price":32.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Large \/ Oxford Navy","offer_id":42641321066667,"sku":"JH030-L-OXN","price":32.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"X-Large \/ Oxford Navy","offer_id":42641321099435,"sku":"JH030-XL-OXN","price":32.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"2X-Large \/ Oxford Navy","offer_id":42641321132203,"sku":"JH030-2XL-OXN","price":32.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"X-Small \/ Charcoal","offer_id":42641321164971,"sku":"JH030-XS-CHA","price":32.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Small \/ Charcoal","offer_id":42641321197739,"sku":"JH030-S-CHA","price":32.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Medium \/ Charcoal","offer_id":42641321230507,"sku":"JH030-M-CHA","price":32.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Large \/ Charcoal","offer_id":42641321263275,"sku":"JH030-L-CHA","price":32.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"X-Large \/ Charcoal","offer_id":42641321296043,"sku":"JH030-XL-CHA","price":32.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"2X-Large \/ Charcoal","offer_id":42641321328811,"sku":"JH030-2XL-CHA","price":32.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"3X-Large \/ Charcoal","offer_id":42641321361579,"sku":"JH030-3XL-CHA","price":33.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0536\/4550\/8779\/products\/FlankerDefinitionBlackUnisexSweatshirt.png?v=1681787996","url":"https:\/\/rugbynut.co.uk\/products\/flanker-definition-rugby-sweatshirt","provider":"Rugby Nut","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
