WEDNESBURY RUFC
HOME OF THE TALLEST RUGBY POSTS ON THE PLANET


Fabricated from steel tube by Irvon steel and galvanized by Joseph Ash, Wednesbury rugby clubs  world record breaking posts are 38.26m high above the ground, and needed a special crane brought in to help erect them. Not quite visible from space, the posts are still the tallest rugby posts on the planet.

The Wednesbury posts surpass the previous tallest of 110ft and 1/2in (33.54m) that can be found at the Roan Antelope club in Zambia, Africa.

For your reference, the minimum required height of rugby posts under Law 1.4 (c) is just 11.2ft (3.4m) - technically a mere 1.3 ft (40cms) higher than the cross-bar!
