adidas Rugby Boots - Kakari vs RS15 adidas currently make two dedicated rugby boot lines: the Kakari for forwards and the RS15 for backs and agile back-row forwards. Understanding which line suits your position is the first decision, and it's a straightforward one. The Kakari runs an 8-stud configuration built for scrum and maul traction, with a wider upper designed to handle the lateral forces of forward play.
