All SIS Rugby turf products are developed under the following criteria:

• Based on the exacting requirements and particular demands of the game
• SIS select fibres from a range of suppliers based on the final playing characteristics required
• Based on extensive research with players and coaches of rugby
• Utilising the expertise of leading independent consultants in Europe and the UK who specify pitch construction details and surfaces
• Meeting the requirements of the IRB (see below)
• A range to meet the needs of the customer, from school level to international level rugby standard

SIS has developed two specific, synthetic rugby turf products which are designed to meet and exceed the IRB requirements. Both products have been developed in consultation with rugby coaches and rugby players.

SIS Scrummager
This product uses the Tenacte XPS yarn which is a fine fibrillated material which provides excellent durability which is key requirement for Rugby Football The product developed by SIS has exceeded 20,000 cycles on a stud roll machines, which replicates wear and tear. The product has been installed on two small pitches in the UK.

SIS Rugger MF
This is our premium product which has been installed for two professional rugby teams: Newcastle Falcons and Leinster Lions Rugby. Both clubs required a yarn that is durable but also soft to feel and touch. The pitches which have been installed in 2007 are full size rugby pitches and are used by professional rugby players.
