Rugby or Soccer Cleats/boots for a speed player?

This season only football boots or rugby boots a both ok and you dont need a specific stud but if you are playing in the front 5 i strongly suggest u stick with rugby boots otherwise for a speed player where you are not quite involded in the game football boots would be a good idea, I am wearing blades at the moment and playing even 7 8 or 9 and they a perfect .

It depends on a couple of things. firstly how big are you? soccer boots are designed to support soccer players probably averaging 80kg odd and rugby players are often 100kg or more. if you fall into the first category where whatever you want. another thing is often rugby pitches are not as fine as soccer pitches and then you might need a longer stud, and obviously the weather also should factor in your decision. but i think if you like a smaller rugby player (like 90kg or less) and you prefer your soccer boots go for it.

Metal studs aren't good for very hard ground. It might make your ankles sore. There are rugby boots made for speed, and those boots usually have blades. The best one's I know are the Adidas Predator Powerswerve Rugby TRX, the Adidas Flanker Nine 15 III's. These are specially made for backs. The Powerswerves have blades, not studs, so it allows greater agility. They're the best boots a back can get at the moment. Another good boot for speed is the Asics Lethal Tigreor II. A majority of NRL players wear these. You can also get soccer cleats for rugby since you're a winger. I wouldn't recommend soccer cleats for forwards. If you want your boots to have a good look as well as speed and traction, the best are the Nike Mercurial Vapours series. Again, a lot of NRL players wear the Mercurials. Even ex-Wallaby Lote Tuqiri wears Mercurials and he's a wing. Another pair of soccer cleats you can get are the Nike Total 90's. I've seen plenty of union backs in the French Top 14 wear these, including Sonny Bill Williams. So here's a list of what are the best in the order of my personal preference: - Adidas Predator Powerswerve Rugby TRX - Asics Lethal Tigreor II - Nike Mercurial Vapours - Nike Total 90 Laser - Adidas Nine 15 III Also in addition, large studs are alright on hard surfaces, provided that they are built for hard ground. Sometimes you notice 'SG' (soft ground) or 'FG' (firm ground) in the model. If you can afford it, get two pairs: a pair of SG's and FG's. Lovell Rugby (www.lovell-rugby.co.uk) is the best online rugby store I know. Prices are VERY cheap and shipping is just as cheap too.
