It depends on if the club you play for have banned them.

Any and all clothing foot-ware and protective equipment is governed by the various bodies . For Union Its the IRB for league its NRL. Look at their site and you will get the official word on what can be worn. It is not necessarily down to the club - they are to follow international guidance.
Yes, blades are actually preferred to some other types of studs.
Safety studs are your best bet though. You can also have moulded studs.
-
Molded studs or cleats are not generally recommended as wear on the "stud" varies from each stud fitted and therefore can wear down to a unacceptable level whilst otehrs remain in good conditions
Studs/cleats of player's boots must conform with IRB Specifications
(Regulation 12), must not be longer than 21 mm, and must not have any
burring or sharp edges.
Though rugby is easiest to play in boots specifically made for rugby, they are not necessary. Soccer cleats work just fine. The only requirement for rugby boots is that they must not have a spike on the bottom of the toes.
The reason why moulded boots or blades are not allowed in rugby is because they could potentially cause harm to other players and the person who is wearing the boots. Moulded boots don't have the same amount of turn as a normal rugby boot and can cause injuries such as broken ankles and muscle strains which i have experienced myself. Also steel blades could be sharpened not maliciously but could cause cut, this is why referees check studs before kick off. I hope this helps Jack

No they all meet the requirements of both codes.
Soccer boots are lower cut and and 6 studs - rugby boots are cut slightly high at the ankle and can have 8 studs
Preference is that of the player. Most centres where rugby boots as opposed to soccer boots as the rugby version have 6 sole studs and 2 heal where soccer boots have 4 sole and 2 heal. In rugby the studs used are all "heal" length for grip, soccer use 10 millimeter in the sole

It is different because the boots are different, the boots for indoors and the boots for outdoors
It is not possible, unless you play on turf, but an easy solution to get mud off cleats (or boots), is to smack them together or against a hard flat surface.
