Spare Studs: What World Rugby Regulations Say
Rugby studs follow World Rugby's regulation twelve: no more than twenty-one millimetres in length, at least ten millimetres in diameter at the tip, rounded edges, and no burrs or sharp edges. The Precision Union Studs, sold by the dozen, and the aluminium studs Uhlsport screw in place of worn-out studs using a stud key. Their tightness is checked before each match: a loose stud can get lost, and a damaged stud can injure a player on the ground.

Compression Socks, Grip or Basic: What are the Differences
Compression socks Proact and Macron Fixed feature horizontal bands from club kits and rise just below the knee. The Grip socks Uhlsport add anti-slip pads underfoot, reducing slipping in the shoe during foot placements and pushes in scrums. The Hummel Fundamental socks, sold in packs of three pairs, are mainly for training: having several allows rotation between sessions during the week without waiting for laundry, and their solid shaft easily folds down at the calf.
Base Layer, Shorts and Parka: Keeping Warm
The long-sleeved base layer Errea Ken fits close to the body, under the match jersey: it retains muscle warmth in cold weather and wicks away sweat. The shorts Gilbert or Errea, made from stretchy material, support thigh muscles and prevent chafing; the Erima model is available in child size. Between sequences, the parka Canterbury Club Subs, designed for substitutes as its name suggests, and the coach Force XV parka block wind and rain on the sidelines. Canterbury was founded in 1904 in New Zealand.

Frequently Asked Questions
When should you replace your rugby studs?
As soon as they have significantly shortened or show sharp edges. A blunt stud slips on soft ground, while a sharp edge can cut a tackled player's skin.
Aluminium or plastic studs: which ones to choose?
Aluminium lasts longer and grips better in mud, ideal for soft ground. Plastic, being lighter, is suited for firmer surfaces; in both cases, World Rugby standards apply.
How to prevent blisters on your feet during a match?
Socks that fit well, without folds, and a properly fitted shoe reduce friction. Models with anti-slip pads further cut down on foot slipping inside the shoe.
Why are rugby socks so long?
They rise to just below the knee to protect the shin from stud impacts and burns on synthetic pitches. They often bunch up at the top of the calf, held by an elastic band or strap.
How to care for a sideline parka?
Wash it at thirty degrees, with zips and press studs closed, without fabric softener which would reduce waterproofing. An occasional waterproofing spray will restore the fabric's ability to bead water.
