Question

What equipment do I need to take up Rugby football?

Answer 1

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!

Answer 2

A lack of fear and a high threshold for pain.

Answer 3

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.

Answer 4

Boots, Gum shield,and pads if its rugby league

Answer 5

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)

Answer 6

Odd Shape Balls!

Answer 7

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

Answer 8

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'.

Answer 9

f*cking stupid Americans

Answer 10

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!

Answer 11

a big heart and a sense of humour....only need shirt shorts socks and boots

Answer 12

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

Answer 13

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.
