National Pride and Independence at heart of Argentina 2023 Jerseys - Americas Rugby News

National pride and independence are at the heart of Argentina’s 2023 rugby jerseys. Unveiled on Wednesday, Los Pumas showed what they will be wearing throughout the year. In sticking to tradition, the UAR has retained the white and sky-blue hooped jersey as the main jersey. This has been the case...

Ugh that is so shit, WTF is wrong with their hoops? Not even their trad colour, closer to ABs and/or modern France

Edit - oh alt strip

Maybe it's just me, but a country with their history playing in a military uniform design isn't a good look.

[Stargazer]

@Tim Yeah, I was thinking the same thing.

[NTA]

Bit of a "fuck you" to the French tho

[Machpants]

At least they have replaced the jaguar with a puma

Yep and here in NZ the Samoa/Japan game is live on TV+1 I think, haven't found the Fiji/Tongan game.

@Dan54 Mate, you're responding to a post from last week. Those games were last Saturday (22 July). There are match threads. They were on Sky Sport Select.

[Dan54]

Whoops sorry, yep and I watched them which is even worse, I know Samoa's game this week is on TV+1

Can someone explain to me how hawkeye works for rugby?

This weekend

Samoa v Fiji midday on Sat
Japan v Tonga 10:30pm on Sat
Scotland v Italy 2:15am on Sun

Not listed on Sky yet. In the last couple of weekend these matches have not been listed in the guide until the day before.

TV1 seems to be showing Samoa v Fiji at 3:30pm (not sure if thats delayed or if the kickoff time is wrong)

[Stargazer]

I think I've got them all: these are the games that will be played this weekend (29-30 July, times in NZT):

Saturday 29 July 2023:

• Samoa v Fiji - Apia - k/o 2.00pm - TV1 (who incorrectly have it as starting at 3.30pm in their tv guide)
• Australia v New Zealand (Bled 1) - k/o 9.45pm - Sky Sport 1
• Japan v Tonga - Higashiosaka City - 10.30pm - Sky Sport 9

Sunday 30 July 2023:

• Scotland v Italy - Edinburgh - 2.15am
• South Africa v Argentina (RC) - Johannesburg - 3.05am
• Namibia v Argentina XV - Montevideo - 6.00am
• Uruguay v Chile - Montevideo - 8.00am

There is time reserved for something on Sky Sport 1 between 2.05am and 4.15 am, but the Springboks v Pumas game and the Scotland v Italy games aren't scheduled yet, which is weird, because these matches were announced ages ago. Unlike the last two games, I'd expect both to be televised in NZ.
