and indeed issued a Laws Book with Indian women on the cover wearing them. IIRC that was prior to the clarification - and may have driven it.- WR issued a policy about two years ago saying that females could wear them.
So basically it's a RFU thing rather than a WR thing? Nothing in Reg 12
i'd suggest contacting Society, NSWRU, ARU, etc
We have been told by the Society Secretary in writing that the following interpretation applies:
"You are reminded that RFU Regulation 15.13.2 makes it clear that anyone in the age-range 6-18 may wear any base layer constructed from approved materials. Leggings and tights are permissible whatever the weather and whatever the sex. You should not request removal of such items."
I therefore obey.
I ran touch for a game 2 weeks ago and a player had a legging on one leg and nothing on the other :shrug:
OK.
Never bothered to read the infamous Leggings Thread, so just after a simple answer please?
Leggings AKA Long Tights.
1.Women/Girls = Legal???
2. Men/Boys = Illegal???
And yes, this is a serious question.
Well they are $150...the other half are still on lay-by!
