Can i wear gloves in rugby?

Posted at: 2014-07-08 
so in school were playing tag rugby, because im a girl we don't play proper rugby, anyway, I was know you can get special fingerless gloves for rugby and I was wondering if you could wear them in matches. also my teacher said that they have to be gloves that can be worn in professional matches on the tv. can you wear the special gloves in matches? do they wear them sometimes on tv? and is it only fingerless ones you can wear? can you get one with fingers on or not?so in school were playing tag rugby, because im a girl we don't play proper rugby, anyway, I was know you can get special fingerless gloves for rugby and I was wondering if you could wear them in matches. also my teacher said that they have to be gloves that can be worn in professional matches on the tv. can you wear the special gloves in matches? do they wear them sometimes on tv? and is it only fingerless ones you can wear? can you get one with fingers on or not?

the newest set of law variations from the IRB (international rugby board) states gloves are not permitted but fingerless mitts are

It is only the fingerless gloves where are actually permitted for Rugby. You will rarely see international players wearing them these days, but it's up to you I guess!

yes, you can wear gloves in proper matches. Glen Webb, who used to play on the wing for Wales was famous for wearing his fingerless gloves in international games.
