Powerbands?!

[SimplySimon]

Guys, what is the official line with wearing sillicone powerbands during a match?

I seem to remember being told that you couldn't wear the plastic charity bands during a game (a la livestrong, H4H etc). A number of these new powerbands appeared in the Autumn Internationals as below

The general view, from recollection was: tape it up or take it off.

And, possibly, more importantly: WHY waste money on them?

in Hampshire Society appointed matches - tape it up or take it off

when the players are selected to play in Autumn Internationals or Premiership then perhaps IRB amd RFU wil allow them to be worn 'out open'

From the news this week it appears gastric bands are more appropriate to the good folk of the West Midlands - fattest people in Europe - allegedly.:biggrin:

No fat people in Yorkshire of course, too busy chasing after their ferrets and whippets

I'm sure he won't - there lots of 7' tall referees from Warwickshire aren't there?

Of course, we are the master race!!!

It's not like in Yorkshire where all referee's are anonymous, 5' 6" and referee in flat caps :nono: ...........appen.
