The Ariddian national rugby union team represents the People’s Democratic Social Republic of Ariddia. However, it includes a high number of players from other parts of the Ariddian Isles.

The team’s main jersey is red, and its alternate jersey is black; these are the Ariddian national colours.

The Rouge Rogues perform the ulek at the start of every match – a tradition borrowed from Ariddia’s national football team.

The Ariddian team is also notable in that it includes female players: Brooks, Ntobo, O’Donovan and Dulunaire.
