The whole kit and caboodle

Shammy leather patches have been stitched into the shorts of the Welsh rugby union team's new kit, to keep their hands dry in the wet. Michael Dodds, from Under Armour, talks through all the technical specifications of what today's players wear on the pitch.

yes thank you, I know how rugby works. I'm just saying if williams is streaking down the sideline, in situation 1, he gets pulled down by his loose cotton jersey. situation 2 he streaks past say habana for a great wales try. Theres nothing unmanly about it, its just being smarter.

@byrniemac791 In rugby, you take the hit, and move on with your life.

theres nothing wrong with old school, but if you can wear more form-fitting clothing to prevent yourself from being tackled, why wouldn't you get them?
