What Rugby boots?

Hey,

Off to Dubai on Sat to play in a Rugby tour. Playing front row and can't decide on what boots to get. Been looking on Prodirectrugby.com for a while and have narrowed it down a bit to these 3:

Thoughts? Opinions? I've chosen these so far as they have some decent sized front moulded studs for firm ground, but will offer me some grip when scrumaging.

Firstly before I pass judgement, what position do you play

Will be in the front row, Prop. Both loose and tight depending on injuries

Grass or 3G?

Grass which is apparently watered but i'd imagine it will be quite firm.

I'm told they all use molded studs out there.

Firstly as a fully paid up member of the front row union, coloured boots :eek:

............... just no

Serious answer: none of those you've show are really appropriate for a prop, the traction would be fairly poor and you'd quickly loose grip on a toe drive, they may look a little noggy and boring but I think these are much more appropriate

Also the leather is far less likely to rip if your foot gets a shooing come ruck time.
