Request
1. Players are wearing elastic ‘long sleeves’ with the mark of the manufacturer. The mark is approximately 80 sq cms. Does this garment resort under Law 4.1(a) which stipulates that ‘A player may wear supports made of elasticated or compressible materials which must be washable’?
SARU have also asked:
2. If this garment does not resort under law 4.1 (a) then Regulation 11.5.3 should apply.
Ruling of the designated members of the Rugby Committee
