Why is he wearing a CONDOM!!
Being a referee I am sure he is a male organ.......I am sure the crowd have called you one at some stage or another...all referee's are apparently one....or at least spectators seem to think so

It's not a very good Condom, it's got a few holes in it!
Dickie, Is that you in one of the VRRA Refs tops? :Zip:

He certainly looks like a complete dick :Looser:
I didn't know what I could or couldn't post with regards terminology hence the safe option...but i agree 100%
I suppose because there weren't appropriate tops available that had the proper sponsors' logos on them.
Fine. But other than a personal e-mail to you, where have they published it? And if they haven't published it how is the rest of the rugby world meant to know about it officially? 'Simon Says' won't wash when I'm being confronted by players, coaches and parents.
The information is supposed to be cascaded down. Have you checked within your own society?

Anyway, back to leggings.
One thing I notice is that all the major rugby brands make them (Gilbert, Kooga, Canterbury, etc..) however none make any claim to them being approved, but then why should they as it's only padding that requires IRB seal of approval.
If all the rugby brands are making them, then they must be getting worn somewhere, otherwise it's very bad business sense.

if you read the promo stuff from brands such as Skins, it's all about wearing them form training and warming up, i'm sure one of the Dr's on here can give the low down and helping muscles recover etc..............

Ray TR, when I'm at the CC Finals at the PoW on the 25th I'll be talking to the appointed To3 about them for my teams game...... hope the decision has been made by then..... I've even printed the IRB ruling off just in case. Any team wearing them at this time of the season are wearing them to gain an advantage, real or perceived......
hopefuly I will get either a plate or cup final so I will keep a weather eye out for a man clutching rulings ! I certainly would never have worn them-especially with my position being called hooker! I do agree they just dont look or seem right and until told otherwise I will not be allowing them. Sole judge of fact and fashion etc..
Ask the Chairman. I don't make rulings!

I'm not sure what infringement leggings/tights have on a game, it's not like a swimming wetsuit that is used in the olympics that is going to give them an extra 1/10 of a second over their opponent, I think we should stop worrying about the little harmless detail, I think the IRB should be worrying about making the Lineouts and Scrums safer, parts of the game where Injurys can happen.

Try asking the IRB. Personally, I can't be bothered.
