If anything that is text is not stitched on I’m not buying it. I’m not paying megabucks for some kid in south east Asia to iron on a logo
I think you're shit out of luck going forward, not going to happen anymore - stictching is outdated for logos on high performance sports wear
and it's official: https://allblackshop.com/shop/jerseys/all-blacks-performance-replica-home-jersey/
Would suit me if there were matching slippers ...

I had just assumed that TJ had replaced Christie in the squad anyway.

Holy shit, who knew a small change to a collar could make a jersey so fucken ghastly 🤮
And the armbands. Don't forget the arm bands
That change kit can go in the bin anyway, what with all the jersey clashes this year.

Serious question, does TJP play better when he does those Loki impersonations?

AB forwards too small, not the right type. Really?
Starting pack weights v England 2019 WC per ultimaterugby.com
AB
Moody 120
Taylor 108
Laulala 116
Retallick 120
Whitelock 114
Barrett 105
Savea 102
Read 110
Total 895Bok
Mtawarira 118
Mbonambi 106
Malherbe 125
Etzebeth 117
De Jager 112
Kolisi 106
Du Toit 119
Vermeulen 116
Total 919Only real difference is in the loosies. If you think you have to be bigger, swap Ardie for Akira and you have parity. I suspect that in the next couple of hours the Wallabies will find the AB pack quite a handful

@bones said in All Blacks 2021:
@big-bok think your weights are dodgy there (in your arguments favour). There's no way Barrett is only 105 and I'd be very surprised if Ardie is only just over the tonne.
Around 111kg, I believe.
Edit wrong on Whitelock as well 117kg not 114kg.
-
I think with Dalton and A Ioane and despite Ardie supplanting the bigger Read, that the ABs are maybe the same now or a few kg heavier?
-
Depth at TH is the biggest worry IMO. Will Ofa T be fit for the RC ? He and Laulala are both essential for the AB scrum (though not world beaters) as Lomax and Ta'avao are nowhere near international standard as far as scrummaging is concerned. I hope Moli can come back strongly and be included in the EOYT squad. And what about Owen Franks ? Will he play in the NPC ? He is not that old.
