Rugby pockets? The short answer is …
Why do rugby union shorts have pockets? That question was asked by the Sydney Morning Herald, and there’s some clever responses.
One lady from Alstonville suggested that: “Rugby union is a gentleman’s game, therefore players’ shorts have pockets so they can scratch themselves without offending anyone.”
Someone else suggested it was so they’d have somewhere to put the keys to the Range Rover, while another suggested the pockets gave the forwards somewhere to put their teeth when a fight broke out.
