If you are just playing socially with a bunch of mates you can get away with just a rugby ball, a field and a mouth guard, is all you really need.\n\nThat's all we had when we played rugby as 10 y.o's.\n\nDon't listen to the idiots that say you don't need a mouth guard, for a couple of pounds its a lot cheaper to buy a mouth-guard than to have reconstructive dentistry!\n\nif your serious about playing rugby then you will need to join a club, they will sort you out with anything you need, and probably have a discount deal going on with some local sports shop.\n\nIf you are playing at club level then boots will also be a must.\nYou don't need padding (unless you are South African, they are all a bunch of woosies) but you  will need to purchase a team shirt. don't go buying some cheap brand, get a CCC (Canterbury Clothing Company) shirt if you can, they are the best (been making them for many many years).\n\nIf you are playing in a forward position then its a good idea to wear headgear, as they take the most knocks to the head.\nAlso don't play front row forward (number 1,2,3)  unless you have been given some training.  You CAN break your neck if you go into a scrum incorrectly, so not a good idea to play there unless you know what your doing!\n\nAlso watch some games on TV and learn the rules, they are complicated (a lot more so than learning grid iron or soccer).

Not during the game, but yes. Without getting too technical, rugby shorts are very short and loose, so during warm-up or whatever, you take one knee, which gives you a nice path between your plant leg and the shorts.

rugby--if you are fast, then that can be an advantage.\nrow crew--if you are light, yet very strong, that can be an advantage.\n\nanyway, do a sport because you love it, not because of your body shape.

I'm finally quitting after two years of playing rugby. I doubt any other sport can really top the intensity and danger of rugby. During my two years, I've gotten three black eyes, one ruptured knee cap (the reason I need to retire), gotten into two fist fights, broken four fingers, broken three toes, gotten so many bruises I lost count, ruptured a vein so I had what appeared to be a fetus growing out of my leg, had five concussions, and possibly had the best time of my life. I'm really going to miss it.
