[QUOTE="Teh Mite, post: 334596, member: 12332"] It's simple. Composite studs and blades are illegal. Plastic studs with metal tips break. They always break; Especially if any rucking were to occur. Therefore they have sharp and abrasive edges, or even worse the tip of the stud/blade would break off and become lodged beneath an opponents skin. So if Sir sees them when he does the studs inspection, he will politely tell you to "get the **** off my pitch". Metal studs however don't snap and they don't wear down to become a soleful chiv. If you're really having trouble sleeping one evening, Read through IRB regulation 12 [url]http://www.irb.com/mm/document/lawsregs/0/060924gfirbregulation12_879.pdf[/url] (Page 25 onwards refers to boots). Rule of thumb: Heavy boots with metal studs to protect you and the opposition. Moulded lightweight things if you're a bit of a [strike]Cipriani[/strike] batty boy fly half. Poncy Nike "90"s if you want to play a girls sport as that's all they'll allow you to do. [/QUOTE]
