One word arches over the whole scene, big and cream on deep green: RUGBY.

Rugby decor for Welsh fans, Rugby Runs in My Veins – Wales Edition rests a green, orange and cream striped ball on a lakeshore under a retro sunset, with dark mountains and pines all around. It gives a den, a bar corner or a teenager's room a proud, outdoorsy focal point, and it makes a heartfelt present for anyone raised on the game in Wales.

The design: rugby decor with a lakeside badge under an arched headline

Worn-looking cream capitals spell RUGBY across the top in a gentle arch, so the one word that matters is the first thing you read from the doorway. Beneath it sits a round retro badge: a sunset striped in orange, gold and cream, a small pale sun up to the right, dark mountain peaks, and pine trees standing on both sides of a blue lake.

Front and center, a rugby ball banded in green, orange-red and cream, with black stitching along its seam, waits on a sandy patch at the water's edge, tufts of grass at its feet. Under the badge, the lettering finishes the thought: RUNS IN MY VEINS, then a smaller "- WAL EDITION" that marks this as the Wales version of the series.

Everything sits on a deep forest-green field, and the scuffed texture on the type is printed into the art, giving it the rugged retro design of a sign that has stood through a few wet seasons. Everything the print needs is already here: the ball, the hills, the water and one short line to finish it.

Who it's for

Welsh rugby fans at home or living far from the valleys, weekend players, retired props and the families who cheer them on. A den, a garage bar, a hallway by the front door or a dorm room all make a natural home for it, and a big birthday, a first home or Christmas morning gives you a reason to wrap one up.

Quick answers

Where does Wales appear on the print?

In the last line. The art reads "- WAL EDITION", a short form of Wales, set in smaller capitals under RUNS IN MY VEINS. The rest of the print is the ball, the lake and the sunset.

I want a square print. Do I lose any lettering?

No. On the 16″×16″ (40.6 × 40.6 cm) square, RUGBY, the ball badge and both lower lines all stay in view; there is simply less empty background above and below than on the portrait sizes.

What size suits the wall above a home bar?

An 18″×24″ (45.7 × 61.0 cm) reads clearly above a bar or sideboard, and A1 (23.3″×33.1″, 59.2 × 84.1 cm) fills a larger clubroom wall. For a shelf, a 5″×7″ (12.7 × 17.8 cm) leans neatly against a row of books.

What kind of frame goes well with it?

Any ready-made frame in your chosen size fits, since the poster comes unframed. A thin dark frame picks up the pines and peaks, while natural wood warms up the sunset. For a mat border, buy the frame one size larger.
