this applies to rugby too, but any time your toes are angled out you are more prone to a collapsed ankle, where the arch in your foot flattens out. this by itself isnt a problem while you're just standing there but as soon as you start involving loads like a barbell or a ruck, you expose the knee of that leg with the collapsed arch to mcl/acl/meniscus stress. too much stress or repeated stress can easily lead to a tear in one or all of those ligaments (theyre connected to some degree by the joint capsule)
So feet should be straight ahead? Or just less angled
