Stuart Canvas was commissioned by the Rugby Football League (RFL) to supply rugby post protectors and corner pole protectors for Betfred Magic Weekend.

The Challenge

Player protection without compromising presentation

At professional rugby league events, protective padding around pitch equipment plays an important role in helping reduce the impact of accidental player contact.

For Betfred Magic Weekend, the RFL required protection for both the rugby posts and corner poles, creating a coordinated solution across the playing area.

As the products would be highly visible throughout the event, they also needed to complement the professional presentation and branding associated with Betfred Magic Weekend.

01 Player Protection

Effective cushioning around potential pitch-side impact points.

02 Event Durability

Construction suitable for a demanding professional sporting environment.

03 Bespoke Branding

Graphics designed to form part of the wider event presentation.

04 Coordinated Finish

Consistent presentation across both post and corner pole protection.

The Solution

Bespoke protection manufactured for the RFL

Stuart Canvas manufactured a combination of bespoke rugby post protectors and corner pole protectors specifically around the RFL’s requirements.

The rugby post protectors incorporated impact-absorbing foam to provide cushioning around the goal posts, with durable outer covers designed for use within a demanding professional sporting environment.

Complementing these, bespoke corner pole protectors were also manufactured to provide additional padding around the corner poles positioned around the playing area.

Both products were finished with bespoke graphics, creating a coordinated appearance across the pitch and ensuring the protective equipment formed part of the wider presentation of Betfred Magic Weekend.
