Best Answer

yes because it reduces the chance of a twisted ankle.

The game has a clear guideline on footwear. Rugby boots rarely cover over the ankle anymore. Players in the main wear a "boot" cut below the ankle and containing 6 to 8 removable studs for grip. In the 1970 and early 80's rugby boots were cut to cover the ankle but their also presented some restrictions to when laced up. Now rugby boots re similar to soccer boots. Boots without stud grip are not really the best thing to wear as scrummaging, mauling and directional changes cause slipping particularly in wet weather.
