We had to make-do with big towels, but I was always envious of people with those robe things!

the guy behind that is a right twunt. after the BTF rule change he blatantly stated that the box was “approved by the BTF” which was totally wrong and misleading. he interpreted that, although you couldn’t keep one at your transition spot but could use it to transport kit back and fore to it, it was an approval! strong words were said to him by the BTF…
re: vaseline on the forehead - this was something most rugby forwards used to do back in the day. we slathered it over the eyebrows to reduce getting sweat in the eyes but more so as a lubricant to reduce injury from rubbing against kit and players. it was also slathered on other likely chafe areas - ears, neck (front row especially), and often crotch and arse crack (especially when muddy - amazing how much chafing mud causes in that area!).
