Our rugby ties for the World Cup

It's finally here! After a long wait – at Cinabre we’ve had our tickets for over 2 years - the Rugby World Cup kicked off Friday September 8th with a tantalizing France-New Zealand match at the Stade de France.
THE THIRD HALF COLLECTION
While waiting, to make sure we were ready for the event, we created new designs to enhance our "Troisième mi-temps" collection. Ties made in France and must-haves for every rugby fan.
Rest assured, we won't be in Fabien Galthié's World Cup squad
THE COLLECTION
The Third half collection (Troisième mi-temps) salutes some of rugby's most iconic moments, such as the France-England Le Crunch or the New Zealand Haka. We've also created a tie with the emblems of the main World Cup teams.
THE EMBLEMS TIE
15 major rugby nations are represented on this tie, which features coats of arms from the Irish shamrock to the Fijian palm tree and the South African springbok. Can you recognize them all?
THE JONNY TIE
Despite our historic rivalry with the Perfidious Albion, we had to dedicate one of our creations to England, which invented rugby 200 years ago. This tie is a nod to Jonny Wilkinson who delivered his team with a drop-goal in the final seconds of the 2003 World Cup final. On this tie, we've depicted his unique penalty-kicking routine. Admire his stance in-between English colors club stripes..
THE HAKA TIE
This tie was designed in honor of the All-Blacks, the only three-time world champions and the first opponents of Les Bleus.
It features some of the players performing the Ka Mate, probably the best-known Haka. This dance, a tribute to Māori culture, has been practiced by the national team for over a century and leaves no opponent indifferent. It was the perfect way for the French national team to get into the World Cup right from the opening match.
THE 'LE CRUNCH' TIE
This is the only rugby match to have been given a nickname, so much so has this rivalry marked the history of the sport. For almost forty years, the Crunch, which means "the crucial moment" in English, has been the nickname of the France-England confrontation, with its dazzling moves and dirty tricks..
THE 3RD HALF TIE
The “Third Half” comes from a tradition almost as old as rugby itself: post-game banquets. Originally practiced in the most exclusive schools in England, the ritual is now maintained from the smallest amateur games to the biggest international matches. Professional players meet in the most prestigious hotels for these after-game evenings. Tuxedos are often de rigueur.
See you at the games! Good luck to the french team!
