What's your position? Which pair fits the best? Rugby boots are a tool intended to do a job, so you purchase the pair best suited to getting the job done. For example, if you are playing in the tight five, there is absolutely no way you want to be using a pair of soccer boots. The traction they allow you to generate for scrumming is completely inadequate. When puch comes to shove, all of the major brands are of pretty much the same quality. So once you decide on what number and arrangement of studs suit you, its important to put a significant amount of time into getting a pair that fit right. That is -- without a doubt -- the most important consideration in your decision.
