The Rugby World Cup is less than 24 hours away and with such little time left to wait until kick-off we here at FirstAid4Sport have compiled a guide to all the taping you’ll see take place on the field throughout the next six weeks. At 11:15AM (BST) tomorrow Japan take on Russia in the opening game of the 2019 Rugby world Cup meaning it’s been four years since England hosted the Rugby World Cup and endured one of their worst tournaments to date, England kick off their campaign against Tonga on Sunday. So over the next six weeks spectators are sure to see a number of big tackles and consequently a number of injuries, so here is a guide to the four most common types of tapping in Rugby and what tapes are used.

Wrist Taping with Thumb support

Firstly, throughout the World Cup you’ll notice several players with their wrist tape continuing around their thumb for extra support, here are the three different types of tape used to enable this support. The base layer of the taping will be 5cm width tape, on top of this base layer you will see a layer of Premium Tan Zinc Oxide tape 3.8cm wide. Finally, the tape used to provide support to the players thumb will be a 2.5cm wide roll of tape.

Wrist Taping

A simple taping of the wrist is a must for most rugby players as it provides pivotal support throughout the match for a muscle which is continuously used and can even provide added warmth on colder days. A lone taping of the wrist contains just two components the first being 5cm wide tape, with a layer of Premium Tan Zinc Oxide tape 3.8cm wide on top, ensuring constant support for the wrist.

Leg Taping

Taping on the thigh is used to secure a foam lifting block, which provides an effective and safe way to lift and support a jumper at lineouts and kick-off. The blocks are designed to conform to the shape of your leg. So in order to securely fit your lifting block you should first secure the block with 7.5cm tape, after the block is secure a layer above and below the block of PVC Sock tape should be applied in order to stop the block from moving when used.

Head Taping

Do jockeys get paid if a horse is a non runner?

Jockeys receive 50% of their riding fee for any non-runner after jockey declarations.

thepja.co.uk - Fees and Prizemoney - The PJA - The Professional Jockeys Association

All riding fees and prizemoney are transferred directly into jockeys’ Weatherbys accounts. How much prizemoney jockeys win is decided by a very complicated Rule of Racing and varies from race type to race type and is dependent on how many places are being paid. However, as a general rule of thumb Flat jockeys receive around 8.5% of the advertised win prize and 2.61% of the advertised place prize. Jump Jockeys receive around 11.03% of the win prize and 3.44% of the place prize. The riding fee is negotiated annually between the PJA and the ROA. The current riding fees are: Flat – £142.90 and Jump – £194.63. A breakdown of income and expenses is available to Members in their Members Handbook.

Booking Fee

Jockeys receive 50% of their riding fee for any non-runner after jockey declarations. The current booking fees are: Flat – £71.45 and Jump – £97.31. The only deduction that will be taken out is any agent’s fee and the trainer’s share if the jockey is not on full fees.
