I know a TMO who’s at Sale this weekend.... Will have a word!
Are leggings not permitted then?
My guess it's a bit like top players being allowed to wear studs "we'd" say "no way" to?
Anyone seen anything like this before? Jacob Van Der Walt playing for Edinburgh against Southern Kings on Friday night.

What is there to stop players taping their hands up (home made tape glove) to get around the glove regulation?
Here's a posting just for the Hampshire boys. When I lived in Whiteparish the guy opposite me worked on the JR Hartley campaign for Yellow Pages.Fly-fishing with JR Blackberry- not biting today.
I had a player this weekend keeping a foot on the ground at the stud check, turned out he only had 3 (of 6) front studs. Told him I would allow 4 at the front, so he needed at least 1 more. 10 minutes later check again, still no extra studs (with lots of talk about not being able to find any...) so a warning to him (and his coach) if I see him on the field with just those 3 studs he will be sent off. Amazing how he then managed to find a stud.....
That's what I was referring to above, that tape with mitts would effectively be gloves.
What's the logic in banning gloves but not mitts ?
Last weekend James O’Connor playing for Sale Sharks against Bath was wearing gloves covering the full length of his fingers.
Does anyone know whether James O’Connor had specific dispensation or whether there has been a change to Law 4 or Regulation 12?
