    Hmmmm -
    South Africa‘s Super Rugby teams will be wearing their new jerseys inspired by Marvel’s Spider-Man, Thor, Black Panther and Captain America at Cape Town Stadium on #SuperHeroSunday (February 3) at the first public appearance of the Marvel makeover.

    The Super Rugby double-header will be the first time that the four local franchises will wear their new Marvel-inspired jerseys. The jersey designs have each been meticulously crafted to reflect the superheroes the South African teams will represent while also staying true to each team’s already iconic colour identity.

    @Daffy-Jaffy is this for the season or just for one round?

      @Hooroo "The jerseys will be exclusively worn in most South African derbies. The teams will wear in their usual jerseys for matches against international opposition."

          Not sure whether it has been posted before, but Beaudein Waaka has been training with the Melbourne Rebels since the beginning of preseason. I haven't seen any news of him signing with them. He was one of the few stand-outs for Taranaki in 2018, and I'd rather see him at a NZ franchise, but since nobody signed him, good luck to him.

                  Back to the Waikato as assistant, coach or director?

                        Those odds on the Tahds look a bit long to me. I'm not convinced that the Canes are that much stronger in the forwards.

                        'Upset' tip is Rebel over Brumbies IMO

                              @Machpants Yeah, it's great! Gives them enough time to prep the next generation to take over in 2022 (Aumua and Kereru-Symes at this stage, IMO).

                                @Stargazer Riccitelli may look elsewhere because of this. I think Coles and Aumua will be 1/2 and with Keruru Symes/Thompson coming through, he might go somewhere with less competition - backup to C Taylor at the Crusaders or first choice at the Blues.

                                    I’d probably prefer Parsons as well, at least he’s not a shrimp like rikitelli

                                        He looks like a shrimp the few times I’ve seen him play live.

                                        Still don’t want him at the crusaders tho. He’s been part of a Wellington tight 5 we’ve beaten up several times in the last couple of years.

                                          Riccitelli

                                          According to Wiki Riccitelli is heavier than Parsons and the same height and heavier than Funnell (if we are to believe wiki's 'facts').

                                          I stand corrected 🙂

                                          He looks like a shrimp the few times I’ve seen him play live.

                                          Still don’t want him at the crusaders tho. He’s been part of a Wellington tight 5 we’ve beaten up several times in the last couple of years.

                                          He's pretty average.
