The padding on them is on the thighs. I don't even think that would be necessary. Skins on the legs would be more than enough (that's essentially all they have on those padded shorts anyway).
I think if this weekend has shown us anything, it's that playing rugby in minus-degrees will ruin the skin on your knees. We shouldn't be talking about whether it's safe to play on the iPitch, but whether it's safe to play in extremely cold conditions. Should there be a call for players to HAVE to wear skins in temperatures like this? If you give players "the choice" they usually take the dumb "pride" option. Sometimes you need to make the decision to look after those that can't look after themselves. |

I think it is imperative that Widnes defend their new £0.5m pitch that has received unjustified criticism after one game on it in freezing conditions where players from other clubs playing on different surfaces received similar injuries! |

For once Stevo hit the nail on the head with this one. In Australia they cope with far worse pitches during the start of the year. A bit of Vaseline does it. |

Completely irrelevant and stupid point as usual.
Congratulations on being consistent.

they all seem to have 7 pads, or at least capacity for 7 pads; 'tail', 2 x hips, 2 x thighs & 2 x knees. |

The ones I looked at didn't look very padded in the knees, but could just be how it's intended.
I think the rest is unnecessary to be fair. |
