Home team changes kit if there is a clash.
Some rugby traditions should be upheld.Didn't that change to the opposite about ten years ago?
6N has home team wearing an alternate for the France/Scotland/Italy games (all blue)

i thought so too but just checked and when we played Scotland in 2017 at murrayfield they wore white
@Snowy you're not wrong...but thats small comfort if we get bagged for some sort of cultural insensitivity

Looks like it changed, but has change back? Found this in an article;
"The All Blacks, as the home side, will be able to wear their traditional black jerseys in the two tests against France in June. They also play Italy."

We could put a Koru on ours?
The Wallabies colour is yellow, they can do that with indigenous patterns.
France changeing their blue pissed me off too. Any team that changes their colours so that we can't wear Black are fuckwits.

of course they can, and have done before...but not now and theyre not going to make a new jersey before tomorrow
I asked in another thread if we should maybe do something different with our alternate strip, somethign other than plain white
-
@Kiwiwomble I actually don't think there is much of a clash. They are just scared of us in Black.
I also commented about our alternate strip elsewhere - just not grey.

The gold jersey was first used in 1961 to avoid a colour clash on their tour to SA.
Still this confusion between metals and colours.
"The yellow jersey..." would have avoided the clash with green too.

I'm sure they don't want two absolute rookies at the back together in Clarke and Jordan vs Aus
yeah, shit, that would be a risk against the enormous amount of caps they would be facing...
We are second-guessing and excuse making for strange looking decisions because the coaching panel don't tell anybody anything useful.
To be fair, you don't really want the coaches giving in depth analysis of their tactics and player weaknesses.
Fozzie: "We're not playing Will Jordan against the Wallabies yet, because he doesn't .....".
Rennie: "That's fucking handy to know!"
But, you could ask me why Jordie and not Sevu Reece, who is also a proper wing and not a complete rookie, and if I were Sevu I'd be worried.

That's Australian gold my friend and don't you fuckin’ forget it! Canary yellow indeed...
Yeah, yellow it is.

@Chris-B Judging by the first test Rennie has a pretty good grasp on the AB players and strategies..

@nostrildamus True - but, you still don't want to gift wrap the information and post it to him!

@Kiwiwomble I read that too, and liked the post.
You can never quote enough of The Twelfth Man.

anyone who has ever been to a farm when calves have scours, knows what colour it more closely represents!
