GGL Stadium only has a capacity of 15,697 so it would have to be a tier 2 team. The football stadium has twice the capacity, but probably too small for a test against France.

that makes a lot more sense, theyre going to get a lot more out of it than just the brand on the front

And it will be All Blacks XV in all but name, mid week test or something.

[Kiwiwomble]

As expected, No worse than AIG

[Kirwan]

Yeah not terrible

[Bovidae]

The Black Ferns have a rounded collar, which is common in a lot of other men's jerseys.

I'll stick with RWC jerseys, that's ok but meh. Altrad is a fluffybunny

[Kiwiwomble]

that seems pretty low key, kind of want to see what someone different would do

Not sure this is the right place, but I couldn't find another thread:

There was a solid rumour that Nike was going to take over.. I guess Adidas had to increase their payments to keep this

https://www.allblacks.com/news/nzr-look-to-the-future-and-renew-long-standing-partnership-with-adidas/

”adidas will continue to provide NZR’s Teams in Black, including the All Blacks, Black Ferns, All Blacks Sevens, Black Ferns Sevens, Māori All Blacks, All Blacks XV, New Zealand Under 20, and Heartland XV, with playing kit, apparel, boots, and footwear”

That’s an exhaustive list. No mention of SR teams?

@Duluth thats interesting, i have noticed over the years the super teams dropping stuff like boots, they no longer all wear adidas and recently balls have gone back to gilbert

[Stargazer]

@Duluth NZ Schools?

[taniwharugby]

@Duluth maybe like NPC, they will allow Super teams to negotiate thier own?

That is a pretty long standing relationship now, I think it was c 2011 when Adidas re-negotiated a new contract well prior to it's expiry too.

Thank phuck. Nike would have produced a yellow polka dotted jersey. Adidas have come up with some horrors but the ABs jersey have escaped much of the turd.
