A great physical game, Rugby or popularly known as American football is gaining popularity all over the world. The player’s speed and agility are tested to the core in this game. The threshold of bearing pain as well as physical endurance is also tested. Features like physical roughness and exhibition of brutal raw force and power are quite common in this game. Rugby is tough men’s game to its very core and not the game for weaklings and sissy. The whole point of Rugby is that it is a state of mind, a spirit and body.

Since rugby is a more a sort of combat game, it is foolhardy to get into the field without proper gear and protection. The pain experienced when a hard contact is made on the shins and chests and heads is sometimes unbearable for a strong person also. Rugby may have many problems, but the deadliest of all is undoubtedly persistent summer. To ensure comfortable game, it is recommended to use proper shields and protection that come under the Rugby kit. This will help in playing lot more easily in the months of summer also which are otherwise unbearable.

Some of the basic Rugby kit accessories in the game are:

Shoulder guard – Shoulder guard is basically used by the players to avoid injury on shoulders as it offers a soft cushion covering over the shoulder. It also helps in avoiding any unnecessary dislocation of shoulder joints while making contact with the opponents.

Helmet – Helmet is the most important accessory used in the game of Rugby as it is the protective covering over the head that prevents any sort of fatal damage to head or brain. Without the protection of helmet or head guard, a strong contact made can be very dangerous. Many former rugby players have proved to be fatal due to head factures and injuries.

Body cushion- As the name implies, the body cushion gives protection against the brutal impact force.

Knee guard- It helps to protect the knees from any collision with the ground.

Shin guard- Shi guard is commonly used to protect the shins, as it is the most sensitive part of the human body and pains a lot if injured.

• Ankle guard- Ankle guard is used to prevent ankle factures and ligament ruptures because of blocking in the game by opponents.
Shoes with spikes – Such shoes are best for rugby game as they are worn for better grip on the ground enabling to make greater balance.


Rugby is a game that is played passionately and is not necessarily meant to hurt. It is a great team game. Rugby is a game of team spirit, tough determination, coordination and companionship.
