[QUOTE="SixteenSixtySix, post: 677159, member: 70346"] I wouldn't recommend it eventho its fine because the boot will slow you down considerably because 8 stud boots generally have thicker upper sole thus making it heavier. 8 studs are usually built for maximum traction as well as to withstand tear when scrummaging while providing protection; not built for speed or agility which are basic requirements for a back. Some models might be light enough, but you're better off with 6 stud boots. Taking two studs off could help you perform better, but might create complications since the two holes will be clogged with dirt and make your boot heavier. Moreover, the position of the 8 studs is different than the 6 studs so if you unscrew the wrong ones you might not get much traction at all If you want to get into rugby seriously and perform well (and still have the budget), buy yourself a 6 stud boot like adidas boots or any suitable boots that you can find.
