Legal Studs ?

This pic was doing the rounds yesterday after the Argentina Australia game.

I understand the limit is 21mm long with 10mm diameter at tip.
Would love to know if these conform.
A friend of mine commented.
Holy moly - are these legal. Like the top jaw of an alligator ������

They were actually worn by an Arg player?

Dangerous for the oppo
Dangerous for the wearer, I'd say

I'm generally laissez faire about the size of studs, just ensure that they are not sharp or rough. But those I do not like (assuming an undoctored image).

Is it not the responsibility of the player to ensure his studs are legal? The referee just checks they are not sharp to dangerous?

would you consider those studs dangrous?

[oldman]

Crossref, yes not acceptable in any game I refereed. BUT I never refereed any game that was on TV or was for anyone other than the 30 (most of the time, less in some), players.

I was really surprised that he came out from halftime with that jersey still on. Do they not have replacement jerseys for international player? Not a great advertisement for the jersey manufacturer.
