I get why some players want to keep their hands warm in the winter months but why do some players wear them at the end of April ?

Sofienne Zaaboub who played for Swindon a few years ago wears gloves all the time whilst playing due to a superstition.

I remember a junior game my lad was involved in. One of his team mates took his gloves off and rested them on the grass to take a throw in from which the other side got possession. This lad stopped to put his gloves back on before getting back into the game. Our coach went crazy at him. Mind you, it was cold that day!

my son plays on the wing and wears gloves with grippy palms, gives him extra traction for long throw-ins.

My wife, who prefers the game played with an oval ball will, without fail if she sees a player wearing gloves, say 'You never see rugby players wearing gloves, footballers are a load of pansies!' Oh well, I learnt at school that unlike poles attract.
Dad and I watched games standing on the muddy slope of the Holmesdale Road end. He cheered and I rattled. |

Football players are artists, rugby players are ditch diggers, and they act accordingly.

There was a trend about 20 years ago for rugby players to wear fingerless gloves - full gloves aren't allowed; supposedly because of the risk of finger dislocation but some players have worn them.

I see Guaita always wears gloves whatever the weather
