Danielle Ladies Equestrian Rugby Top - Navy & White Striped Riding Rugby
A classic rugby, made for riders. The Delzani Danielle takes the bold striped look of a traditional rugby jumper and cuts it for the saddle. It's made from a soft, midweight cotton-blend jersey, with side splits that let the hem sit comfortably when you're mounted and a relaxed fit that moves with you through every reach and rise. It's finished with a crisp white collar, a gold embroidered crest and a tonal DELZANI wordmark across the chest. This is winter riding wear that looks as good at the yard as it feels in the saddle.

Pro Tip - Why a Rugby Beats a Knit Jumper for Riding
A knit jumper is either too warm or not warm enough, and it's a nuisance to peel off once you've warmed up in the saddle. A midweight rugby sits in the sweet spot. It takes the chill off an early ride, still breathes once you and your horse are working, and doesn't bulk up under a riding vest.
The cut matters too. A standard rugby is boxy and rides up when you sit. The Danielle's side splits let the hem settle naturally over the saddle, and the relaxed, feminine fit gives you room to move without excess fabric. Once you've finished riding, the collar and crest mean you look put-together for the rest of the day at the yard, a clinic or a show.

Common Rider Questions (FAQ)
Q: Is it designed for riding?
A: Yes. The Danielle is an equestrian rugby. Side splits let the hem sit comfortably in the saddle, and the relaxed cut gives you room to reach, rise and work around your horse without restriction.
Q: How heavy is the fabric?
A: It's a midweight jersey, around 260 GSM, made for cool to mild weather. When it's colder, layer it under a Delzani puffer jacket or hoodie for extra warmth.
Q: Does it shrink?
A: Like most cotton-rich garments, heat is the main cause of shrinkage. Wash cold, line dry in the shade and skip the tumble dryer to keep it true to size.
Q: How is it different from a traditional rugby?
A: Traditional rugbies are made for the sideline. They're heavy, boxy and ride up in the saddle. The Danielle is made for riders, with a midweight jersey, a relaxed feminine fit and side splits for riding.
Q: Should I size up for layering?
A: No. It's true to size with room to layer underneath. Only size down if you prefer a closer fit.

Why the Delzani Danielle Rugby?
Most rugbies are made for the sideline, not the saddle. The Danielle keeps the classic stripes and collar, then adds what riders actually need: side splits, a relaxed fit that moves with you and midweight warmth for winter riding. It's designed in Australia for riders who live the ride every day.
Delzani: honest gear, built for the work you actually do.
Product Reviews
Rugby top
By: Anne CN on 29 September 2026Great rugby shirt. Little long in the arms but that’s because I’m short arse. It’s not too thick, which is good living in Western Australia.
