The tape you see a lot of Rugby players wearing, singularly wrapped without going further up the hand/thumb for support, is normally just added as a preventative measure following a previous wrist strain. Once strained, the wrist area can be prone to being strained again, particularly under the high stress/impact it is put under in rugby.
