This is like watching 1sts play a 3rd grade side at the moment Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Brumbies getting drilled in the collisions. Inside is 100% right, if they keep getting bounced off every tackle attempt, they'll lose by at least 30 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I just don't see how the Brumbies will be able to do this without the Hurricanes suffering from a case of severe nerves. The travel will have affected them pretty badly and however hard you try to ignore it, in the last 20 or so the body just has its say either way. Will be a bridge too far I...

Well no not really. Soccer and the Olympics have enough captive audiences that they can afford to be a bit pig headed in their treatment of rights. Rugby has one or two genuinely captive markets in countries with sub 5 million populations, so from a marketing and growth perspective reducing the...

I honestly don't understand WR (World Rugby)'s thinking on this. Are they trying to limit the exposure the sport's flagship event? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Has anyone else seen this: http://www.theaustralian.com.au/business/media/rugby-world-cup-offside-with-news-corp-fairfax-media/story-fn9ymmvo-1227408795764 Very irritating from World Rugby - aren't they supposed to be trying to promote the game?

It's always a tricky decision whether or not to rest your first choice line up for a meaningless match before a big one, but you have to consider who you're playing and what their prep has been and I suspect the brumbies, fresh from a bruising encounter with an in form Crusaders and yet injury...

They're busy preparing explanations as to why Aussie rugby still sucks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah to be fair the gold is basically the same for the player jersey. That said the cotton old school version has a pale, slightly washed out and almost green tinted shade that looks pretty crap. Also, those green stripes translate even less well onto cotton some how Sent from my iPhone using...

They're probably assuming the demand for it will spike as people realize it wasn't that bad compared to this year's. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Quite true I suppose. All the same, I have to say I was a huge fan of the 2013 BLK wallabies design. It too wasn't universally loved, but I don't remember it being subject to quote the vitriol that ASICS efforts have produced. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah they got the jersey AFTER they'd won 3 - already said that. Don't really see how it matters one way or the other what non Aussies theorized about it - the top was still considered one of the best ever by Aussie fans for one of our ODI tops and sold a tonne. Point was the All Green kit...

Nah, they had commbank before and after they went for that strip. Doesn't matter though - looked bloody awesome with the metallic gold trimming. Certainly suited the 3 consecutive World Cup winning team. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That was actually a pretty nice kit I have to say - even if it was England. Anyone else seen the reviews of the shirts on Rugby Shirt Watch (http://rugbyshirtwatch.com/)? I have to say I think they're being pretty generous.

Charcole? Are you referring to the 2011 England "All Blacks"? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hahahaha well I sense where you're coming from - it put the team in a good looking kit for once, instead of some shit a kit with a penchant for yellow and couple hours MS Paint dreamed up. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If that's true it must be a new directive given that in 2007 the All Blacks wore grey as their alternative. Also, where does that leave England? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If that's what we're after - a crisp look that's fashionable - we may as well get a black and a red alternative jersey as well. Red shirts go well with almost anything and definitely beat white for fashion and crispness. Not an Aussie colour, but if that's not our criteria then it along with...

Why is white more visually appealing? The best ODI jersey we've ever had was an Adidas dark green one with genuinely gold stripes from the mid 00s. Fact is dark green is the other half of "green and gold". It ain't gold and white. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Better than the England Wallabies ;-). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
