Rugby equipment
To complement one’s rugby equipment, compression gear is great for taking care of one’s muscles during a brutal rugby training session or matches. Equipment options are scare for rugby players. No padding is allowed. A fabric head covering is allowed but it may not have any padding. Shoulder pads can only be made of cloth.
A helmet is a part of rugby equipment that protects the head while playing. Cuts, abrasions, and concussions can be avoided by wearing the proper head gear. Accomplishing a tackle on an opposing player can expose the head to serious injury so the rugby player should wear approved head gear while playing.
Rugby equipment is not complete without the proper shoes. Cleats are used to play rugby. They are like tennis shoes to some extent, however, the soles of the shoes are studded with pointed projections to enable a player to plant his or her foot firmly in the grass to gain valuable traction. Cleats can injure other players so care must be taken while wearing them.
