Sports Rugby

Hey this is for somthing important plz help

If you are just playing socially with a bunch of mates you can get away with just a rugby ball, a field and a mouth guard, is all you really need. That’s all we had when we played rugby as 10 y.o’s. Don’t listen to the idiots that say you don’t need a mouth guard, for a couple of pounds its a lot cheaper to buy a mouth-guard than to have reconstructive dentistry!

If your serious about playing rugby then you will need to join a club, they will sort you out with anything you need, and probably have a discount deal going on with some local sports shop. If you are playing at club level then boots will also be a must. You don’t need padding (unless you are South African, they are all a bunch of woosies) but you will need to purchase a team shirt.

Don’t go buying some cheap brand, get a CCC (Canterbury Clothing Company) rugby shirt if you can, they are the best (been making them for many many years). If you are playing in a forward position then its a good idea to wear headgear, as they take the most knocks to the head. Also don’t play front row forward (number 1,2,3) unless you have been given some training.  You CAN break your neck if you go into a scrum incorrectly, so not a good idea to play there unless you know what your doing!

Also watch some games on TV and learn the rules, they are complicated (a lot more so than learning grid iron or soccer).

What’s shorter? AFL footy shorts or rugby footy shorts?

Help please

AFL. Comparing: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/b/b1/Scott_west_afl_player.jpg TO http://www.abc.net.au/reslib/200608/r101750_311053.jpg The AFL shorts are defently shorter.

Editors Comment:  Definitely AFL footy shorts – and don’t the ladies love them!

Question for women: Should men wear matching undergarments under their football/rugby shorts?

I get totally distracted with this fashion faux pas, instead of keeping an eye on the ball, I can’t help thinking the player’s bright red pants clash terribly with his green and white striped shorts!

lol…. they can wear whatevers clean I suppose

🙂

I’m a girl, quite small bit I have wide hips. What kind of size are Canterburys medium sized rugby practice shorts? Can you compare them to a regular clothing size maybe? Would it be better to get medium or small sized?

Thanks.

If your going to buy something online you should probably go to a store and try it on first to know your size. If you don’t do this and the size you buy doesn’t fit you you will have to pay for the shipping to return it

I have to buy some rugby cleats . What should I be looking for (features, characteristics etc.)? 

BTW: I’ll be playing lock on grass.

Get forward boots, you’ll need them for the extra padding on the toes and around the ankle. Contrary to the previous post I can’t see forward boots causing ankle weakness. Most taper towards the back of the boot anyway, they just give you a little extra padding around the ankle bone but not really much support. I

Wouldn’t want to play in the pack with the lower cut back boots or soccer cleats for two reasons:

1st, your toes, ankles get stepped on regularly

2nd, if you pushed hard enough you’ll push them right off your feet.

Previous post about the toe cleat is correct, toe cleats are not allowed.

Sweaters are highly visible clothing worn over other clothes, and embroidered sweaters are ideal for conveying your message. This message can be a company brand or the simple statement that the wearer is a dedicated fan of the England Rugby team.

The Sweater is a Catchall for Different Styles

Traditionally made from wool, sweaters were cold weather wear. These days, sweaters are also made from cotton, synthetics and blends. They are pulled over other items of dress, such as shirts and tops, and are also known as pullovers.

Covering the torso and arms, sweaters were ideal for sports played in cold environments, such as ice hockey, or for games during cold seasons.

Sweaters come in different styles – turtle neck, v-neck, crew neck; waistlines at varying heights; varying sleeve lengths; and differently styled hems. Embroidered sweaters can have the embroidery on sleeves or on the breast or can just consist of some tasteful lines across the front. You can choose an item that suits the conditions and your tastes.

Sweaters are also called pullovers, jumpers, jerseys and by other names, particularly in different countries. A cardigan has a front opening that sweaters lack. Sweaters made from cotton are known as sweatshirts. And sweaters with no sleeves are called vests.

Sweaters are easier to tailor, as they don’t need elaborate devices for body fit. Being elastic items made from knitted fibers, sweaters adjust to body shape. However, the elasticity also means that you have to be more careful while washing a sweater.

Sweaters are maintained through washing and lint rolling.

Embroidered Sweaters and Rugby Tops

The high visibility of sweaters means that company logos and names will be visible on those times when a sweater is pulled over shirts and tops, hiding any embroidery on these items. Embroidered sweaters are thus better for conveying your messages in cold countries where they tend to be worn more frequently.

Embroidered rugby tops are for fans of the respective rugby teams. Sports fans like to identify themselves with their teams and rugby tops embroidered with team logos is a popular dress in countries where rugby is played.

Rugby shirt manufacturers produce embroidered rugby shirts that replicate famous rugby wear such as Test rugby shirts worn by cup winning teams at world cups. There are Australia Rugby shirt, Ireland Dry shirt, the short sleeve version of England away rugby shirt, and so on.

Conclusion

Sweaters are items of clothing worn over other upper wear like shirts and tops. Embroidered sweaters are highly visible items of clothing that can display their message when those on the shirts and tops are hidden.

Embroidered rugby tops are highly popular among fans of different rugby teams. There are rugby tops replicating the patterns of jerseys worn by different country teams and those worn on famous occasions such as a cup victory.

You don’t need a site for that. Just try out a reputed sports store. All the info you need they should be able to supply.
