To protect their head.
This is a rather short answer. as it begs another question : Why only one player has the need to protect his head?
---- The cap (called a scrumcap) is normally worn by forwards specifically front rows and second rows to prtoect them during scrums. It prevents cauliflower ear (a common Wrestling injury) and just general pushing and squishing and pulling on the head and ear. It doesn't protect against concussion or other head and neck injuries much.

What kind of underwear do rugby players wear during the match?
because they want to look hot for the girls ___________________________________________________________ Because players are tackled by manually holding the opposing player it was seen as a strategic move to reduce the leg length of the shorts to limit the material that could be used to retrain the opposing player. In 2007 new shirts were developed and first worn by Wales where the materiel allowed the players skin to "breath" thus reducing desperation and dehydration The shirts were made of a more elastic material than the previous thick cotton worn around the world. This again made the amount of materiel difficult to grasp in a tackle Also, in rugby union, some players are lifted into the air by their shorts. Thus, it is very important that the shorts not be too baggy (making them prone to tearing or just not being useful for lifting).

In the Pro Leagues in Europe for example they are paid less than soccer players with good players getting between 50000 and 100000 pounds a year to play.

Why do the people playing American Football wear hemets as American Football is very similar to Rugby and Rugby players don't wear helmets?
That's how the creation of the game got about. ~ When heavy body armour was introduced to American Football the heat protection was a leather helmet similar to the scrum cap used in rugby. When the hard protection was introduced they had to add extra hard head-wear as the injuries to the face from the shoulder padding cause serious injury. Rugby boards are desperately trying to maintain a flexible body armour, which in effect reduces stud damage to the skin whilst not being made in such a way as to be used to increase tackle effectiveness.
