Many players now wear scrum caps to protect the ears and head. Taping of the ears is questionable. However, apply Vaseline to the out area of the ear and place a soft cause or cotton-wool over the ear. Ally the tape around the head, players usually use a medical stretch adhesive tape for this - The padding will stop the rubbing of the ear and will stop the tape sticking to the ear itself - Also seek medical advice as well as there are problems encountered with ear damage by many players

Why some rugby players wear tape around their ears?

The tape you see a lot of rugby players wearing, singularly wrapped without going further up the hand/thumb for support, is normally just added as a preventative measure following a previous wrist strain. Once strained, the wrist area can be prone to being strained again, particularly under the high stress/impact it is put under in rugby.

If you push your ears back long enough will they ever stay back?

I don't think so. My cousin had ears that protruded a lot. Her parents used to tape them to her head when she was small. Every time they would take the tape off the ears would bounce back. It didn't work at all. You could always have cosmetic surgery. They can do wonders with surgery.


Why do some of Saracen rugby players have tape at the back of their ears?

Vaseline or "vas" as its generally referred to is used to reduce the friction on the ears. The friction is generally caused by the material of the shorts and shirts rubbing against the skin. The ear itself is cartridge and can damage very easily. The props and hookers are the most likely to wear it but other pack members do use it. The front row have an addition reason which is the collision made when packing down against their opponents heads and the ears do take consistent punishment.
