Well, I agree that pockets in Rugger Shorts probably don't do much to improve yer chances in a tackle,
but some of the Union Shorts these days are just stupidly long!

It's not just about showin off either - I find them really uncomfortable, coz I like to be able to move around easily, instead of havin loads of loose wet material clingin to me + offerin handholds to opponents!

Also, to be honest, while I expect a certain amount of hassle if I wear my white footy shorts in town, not bein able to wear them for Rugby just seems totally stupid. After all, they're designed for exactly that kind of contact sport!

As for the street wear thing tho, that's exactly why I want the pockets!
Otherwise, where are ya supposed to stick your change from shops or bars?
