What equipment do I need to take up Rugby football?
Answers:
A lack of fear and a high threshold for pain.
A first aid kit, the number of a good dentist, and crutches.
Beyond that, the club team will issue you a jersey. You'll need cleats (boots), and mouth-guard, shorts. It's not expensive to get into, unless the league you join has heavy fees/dues.
Boots, Gum shield,and pads if its rugby league
a big heart and a sense of humour..only need shirt shorts socks and boots
Erm..A Big Lunchbox...LOl.
Sorry couldnt resist..
Maybe your local sports store or team mates could advise. Im sure the first on your list would be a 'Gumsheild'.
Odd Shape Balls!
You dont need any equipment unless your a forward then you might want to invest in a scrum cap to avoid your face from getting nicked up
Gumshield (mouthguard)
boots (or soccer cleats if you're a small fellow and will be playing as a back)
a good pair of heavy cotton shorts (preferably with pockets)
some soccer socks
and a scrum cap if you're gonna be a forward and want you keep your ears intact.
Other than that your club should provide you with a jersey, but to practice a good heavy cotton shirt while do the job nicely. No t-shirts, they rip waaay to easily
Some good boots, rugby shorts (don't come in anything else.you'll lose them), rugby jersey (come in a shirt and you'll lose that as well), plenty of motrin, mouth guard, head gear (only if you work a job that requires you to look pretty and you can't brag about the scars), medical coverage and a high pain tolerance. See you on the pitch mate!
F*CKING STUPID AMERICANS!
nothing bi*ch, you f*ucking get hurt its part of the game (I'm 13 and iv broken 2 ribs already from rugby)
if your that scared, gum guards and thats that
no padding no nothing (unlike f*ucking American football)
and its rugby ,say it with me r u g b y not f*cking "rugby football"
f*cking stupid Americans
everyone NEEDS a gumshield, noone while think your hard because you dont have one and itll prevent the ref from sending you off because you dont have one.
heavy/thick cotton shorts-dont rip and if your being lifted in a lineout it makes it much easier for the lifters and stops your nuts from crushing.
rugby/cycling shorts their especially made to wear under your shorts, they keep you warm and keep everything in place.
a pair of studded boots.
high football socks
a scrumhat if your in the frontrow to stop you getting coliflower ear.
underpadding-its like a slightly padded vest(if your a forward, theres less pressure on your shoulders)
Boots, shin pads, gum shield. balls of solid rock and the ability to take a hit without breaking. You can wear shoulderpads if your a bit of a woman too!
The only equipment youll need is.
Pair of boots
Mouthguard, ( Definate )
Pads slow you down,
If you play without pads you will hit harder and hurt the opposition more,
Very few players wear shoulders pads after junior level.
