    Sam Whitelock sure has built up a lot of rugby miles, we'll really have to nurse him through the RWC but his lineout skills and experience will be essential IMO.

      @Duluth Me and you both mate. Love the fact that others buy them, and I will buy ather supporters' gear at times, but never a jersey. Old fashioned in that way, earning the right etc.
      And add to fact, it just has to be a Black jersey I pretty happy with whatever jersey is.

                The retail ones are made from one roll of fabric, so the number and lay out you get will vary from Jersey to Jersey. I guess the players ones are standardized as they are made to measure

                I like the white one, for once. Also more comfortable on hot summer day!

                  It looks like two different jerseys. The one that Jason Momoa is holding looks like the one that will be worn by the players.

                            The one he is holding is. That’s what Murph was referring too I think.

                                    This from stuff. And I hope the jersey looks ok on the field. As it looks ok in some photos but awful in others

                                    *And at the heart of the on-pitch jersey is an emblem made up of 14 differently sized ferns, which signifies the diversity and differing experience of the current squad.

                                    “Completing the emblem, the crest of the team acts as the 15th fern, with each facing inwards to create the “USO” mark; a Samoan term meaning brother, in honour of the bond between the All Blacks.”*

                                        Designed by a french dude. They should have got a kiwi to design it.

                                        Agree. It seems like a strange decision. Unsure how much say NZR had in the jersey design? Or was it mostly adidas pushing Fey the Wolf and the final design.

                                          Designed by a french dude. They should have got a kiwi to design it.

                                          Also in conjunction with ABs, and you know the French outfit actually knit the fabric!
