Playing Shorts | ||
(example) | ||
 Rugby shorts need to be able to withstand a lot of physical abuse from pulling and tearing. Therefore, soccer shorts and other types of gym shorts are usually not rugged enough to handle the requirements of the game and are too stretchy for use in the line out and scrum. Rugby shorts tend to be made of stiffer, more durable materials such as 100% cotton twill or some other durable performance fabric, such as Climalite. Shorts need to fit properly because the material is less stretchy and can hinder leg movement. Shorts with pockets are available, but pocketless shorts can fit better. Rugby shorts are traditionally short by design to allow more range of motion, but longer short styles are available. | ||
