It is indeed. And it reads from Right to Left.
A case of some designer getting all creative...I think it sucks. Hopefully though it is the worst part of the Bok RWC campaign.

Interesting 18 forwards/13 backs split by Gatland. He's only selected three midfielders so he is able to bring an extra backrow player.

No Rob Evans. Mistake.
No Jarrod Evans. Mistake.
Dan Carter would have looked shit outside Aled Davies yesterday. And Jarrod can play centre and full back.
Would have taken him over Amos.Word on the street is if either Biggar or Patchell go down then Liam Williams is the back up outside half. FFS.
Patchell played really well yesterday but is one big tackle from getting concussion and/or shitting the bed.
Shingler can count himself very lucky.
