Answer 11

Rugby shirts were traditionally made out of cotton, but as synthetic fabrics became cheaper they have become incorporated into rugby shirts. The two most common materials are a mix between cotton and polyester (many of these shirts are meant for supporter use, though they can be used in a rugby game), and pure polyester (these shirts are generally designed for play use). The reason for the preference of polyester in a game situation is that polyester is harder to grab. Also polyester does not tear as easily as cotton. There is a trend with many competitive teams to use skin tight shirts to further enhance this effect.
