Quote ="Wellsy13"The padding on them is on the thighs. I don't even think that would be necessary. Skins on the legs would be more than enough (that's essentially all they have on those padded shorts anyway).
I think if this weekend has shown us anything, it's that playing rugby in minus-degrees will ruin the skin on your knees. We shouldn't be talking about whether it's safe to play on the iPitch, but whether it's safe to play in extremely cold conditions. Should there be a call for players to HAVE to wear skins in temperatures like this? If you give players "the choice" they usually take the dumb "pride" option. Sometimes you need to make the decision to look after those that can't look after themselves.'"
they all seem to have 7 pads, or at least capacity for 7 pads; 'tail', 2 x hips, 2 x thighs & 2 x knees.
