A lot of players don't wear pads in their pants, because they believe it will slow them down; whether it be speed, agility, or simply, reaction time. This is why so many players object to the NFL's new rule in the 2013 season, stating that it will become mandatory for players to wear thigh and knee pads. Personally, I agree with the players. In college, I wore Yeh smallest(youth) pads I could find, and during my stint in arena and semi-pro, I NEVER wore them... So it kind of makes sense to me.

Yes, wearing shin pads is recommended in rugby to protect players from impacts and injuries to the shins. While they are not mandatory in all levels of the game, many players choose to wear them for additional safety. Shin pads can help absorb shocks from tackles and collisions, making the game safer. Ultimately, the decision to wear them may depend on personal preference and the specific rules of the league or competition.

Do rugby players wear any protective gear?

Most rugby players wear shoulder pads, which protects them when they tackle and for when they are in a scrum or ruck. The players who go in the scrums and rucks wear scrum hats, this prevents them from head injuries, but also prevents cauliflower ears. And nearly all the players wear gum shields to protect their teeth.
