    Might sound like a daft question to yez lads, but the ties/tape that some players have around their knees, is this for support to stop injuries or whats the story with it ??

    They are normally second row players. The tape is used to aid when they are being lifted in the line out. It stops the lifters hands from sliding up the leg when lifting. Handy if its raining and the skin is slippy.

    You can get kevlar knee supports. They are pretty much thicker versions of the ankle supports but with a cutout for the kneecap. Dunno if they're any good, never tried em. Elverey's stocks em, last i checked.
