The simple answer is YES. Thegreatest area where friction is demanded and soon shows when it id not present is in the passing of the ball hand to hand. It is not just the ability to grip the ball that occurs in the handling process. Friction is needed to maintain the grasp. Passing the ball across the running like requires that the ball can be held and thrown - friction is required to maintain the equilibrium. The receiver of the ball needs to be able to hold on to the shiny surface of the ball. or we see it dropped like a bar of soap. Some players use a resin similar to that used on violin bows to increase the grip and reduce the slipping when throwing and catching

What role does friction have in mechanical efficiency?
Nothing is 100% efficient because friction acts opposite on everything.
How do rugby players avoid friction?
By using Foam and Felt Adhesive. Their feet need to be protected just as much as any other part of the body during rugby. Foam and felt adhesive packs are layers of foam or felt which can be cut to size and placed in the boots to prevent rubbing and friction.
What role does friction play in rock climbing?
It plays a very important role. It allows you to climb
When is friction desirable and undesirable in rugby?
Desirable in scrummaging when the two packs form together. Without friction they would slip off which is dangerous. Friction is also desirable when making the tackle. And when sidestepping you need good grip. Undesireable when trying to evade the tackle.
How does static friction play a role in different sports?
action and reaction, the ball moves with force, it stops with friction .
