[QUOTE="O'Rothlain, post: 164994"] That's a man who's never played cricket speaking. I'd never dream of wearing a cup for rugby, but if you get hit in that area at high speed by a compact ball of cork and leather, you'll be thankful for that layer of plastic you remembered to put on. Can still knock the wind out of you for a couple of minutes, but it's oh so much better than taking the full force on an unguarded netheregion. [/b][/quote] Yeah, the same reason why a lot of baseball players wear them (especially the catchers), and that makes sense. In rugby however, I've just never had that issue, nor did I have it with gridiron football. [/QUOTE]
