[QUOTE="TRF_Olyy, post: 326447, member: 34990"] Football (soccer) boots, for the most part, can't be used for rugby without changing out the studs first, however this is very easy to do. Football studs are plastic with a metal tip, wheras rugbys are solid metal - the plastic can shatter and become very sharp which isn't pleasant if you tread on someone in a ruck or something. You can buy a pack of rugby studs for a few pounds and then just switch them out in a few minutes I use Adidas Predator X firm and soft ground ones, the firm are the rugby versions, and the soft are the football versions Basically: There's no difference, really, apart from the studs on them [/QUOTE]
