Rugby Strapping Tape: What You Actually Need to Know Zinc Oxide Tape for Rugby Zinc oxide tape is the workhorse of rugby strapping. It's rigid, non-stretch, and holds firm through a full eighty minutes - which is why it's been the go-to for physios and players at every level for decades. SportTape's zinc oxide range comes in white and black, in widths from 1.25cm up to 3.8cm. Narrow widths for fingers and thumbs, mid-widths for wrists, wider rolls for ankles and shoulders. It's the tape you reach for when you need support to stay exactly where you put it. EAB Tape for Rugby EAB (elastic adhesive bandage) is the flexible alternative to zinc oxide. It stretches with the body, making it better suited to joints that need compression and some freedom of movement - knees and shoulders particularly. It's also used as a finishing layer over zinc oxide to lock everything in place, and as the base layer for lineout lifting blocks before sock tape goes over the top. SportTape's EAB tears cleanly, conforms well to body contours, and doesn't slip mid-match. Sock Tape for Rugby Sock tape is the unsung essential in every rugby kit bag . It keeps rugby socks up through a full match, holds any taping in place as a finishing layer, fastens lineout lifting blocks down over EAB tape, and - when things start falling apart late in a match - does a surprisingly decent job of keeping a pair of rugby boots together. We stock sock tape in a wide range of colours - white, black, and a full spread of team colours - so you can match your club kit or keep things simple. Buying for a squad? Sock tape is one of those things clubs go through quickly, so it's worth stocking up. A single roll per player per match is a reasonable starting point for a squad order. Cohesive Sock Wrap Cohesive sock wrap is the tape that bridges the gap between grip socks and sock sleeves - the short section of leg between where the grip sock ends and the sleeve begins. Applied over both, it pulls them together into a sin
