3. Rugby Boots
Proper footwear is crucial for traction and stability on the field. Ensure the boots have the right type of studs for the playing surface, whether it's grass or turf. If you cannot find rugby specific cleats, soccer cleats work for most players. If ankle support is needed Rugby cleats or some American Football cleats can work.

4. Protective Gear
Safety should always come first. Mouthguards are mandatory, and additional protective gear like headgear and padded undershirts can offer extra safety, especially for younger players. While some gear is allowed in games, additional protective gear can improve practice and reduce risk of injury.
