[QUOTE="Mrr, post: 785080, member: 73833"] Hey there, I'm looking to order some boots from the UK in the next bit (I live in Canada), and am wondering if anyone can give me a bit of insight into the stud formation and the difference it would actually make in playing my position, which is second row. The pair that I'm looking at is a 6 stud boot with two plastic blades behind the front 4 - I'm aware that 6 studs are generally for backs and 8 studs are for forwards to give extra support and traction in the scrums.. but would the missing two studs really hinder my performance as a second row that much? I feel like this might be a silly question, but my coach is adamant that I get an 8 stud boot and I'm really in love with this pair. I'd like to go ahead and get them anyway.. Would it really be much of an issue? [/QUOTE]
