Super Rugby 2023
-
seems to be the same pattern, just a different template, still cool although i prefer the original white one with the Tapa Cloth sleeves
-
The competition is too short. Should be a "home and away" format with shorter finals series.
-
looks like a great location, dont know what kind of numbers the raiders get but 30k seems to be the sweet spot for these kinds of venues

Good chance it's finished before the stadium in Chch.
Unlikely. The government isn't a huge fan of sport and wants to spend cash on the tram. This has been discussed for years and gone nowhere and the current Chief Minister thinks sinking more money into the shithole known as Bruce Stadium is a better idea. That alone speaks volumes. Everyone who has ever gone out there knows it's unsuitable. There's no supporting infrastructure and it's fucking shit: No pubs or restaurants nearby. Shitty bus service back into the city.

You forgot to mention that it sucks in every bit of cold wind that exists in Australia.
That proposed location would be excellent if backed by good public transport.

Reds 2023 home Jersey -

@Daffy-Jaffy Reds one looks ok, mind you I don't get into excitement over what jersey looks like as I never buy them. All a jersey needs to do is help me tell 2 teams apart on field.

Well when I used to go and watch at Ballymore, used to hear the announcer say the Queensland Reds sponsored by Canterbury, are playing the Canterbury Crusaders, that was strange.
