@Tim He's already the fourth NZ SR squad member to be replaced before the season has started.

Yeetyaah

@Tim time for Taukei'aho to step up. He's a good prospect if he can sort out his throwing.

Tim

@Yeetyaah He'll be an All Black this year.

Away jersey. It's different.

Crucial

“From material to design, the new Gallagher Chiefs away jersey has been crafted to reflect and honour the natural contributing waterways of the Chiefs region. The jersey is a part of a new adidas range – made with Parley Ocean Plastic, which is recycled plastic waste intercepted from beaches and coastal communities before it reaches the oceans.”

Surely a jersey made from rubbish would be more appropriate for the Blues

Mokey

@Crucial Anyone who thinks the waterways in the Chiefs region look like that has never been to the Chiefs region.

If Ariel needs an escort back to the sea though, they'll be top of the list.

"Away" jerseys. Why?

Alternative jerseys in case of a clash. Sure.

Light coloured jerseys when playing on hot sunny days. Yep.

But "away" for the sake of it? Dumb as a bag of hammers.

Edit: especially when this "away" jerseys bear absolutely no resemblance to your normal team colours.

I can't think of any other reason though.

The idea is that by wearing them for all the away fixtures people are more likely to buy them. Personally I think that's rubbish because people will buy the jersey they like regardless of whether they wear it only when it clashes or every away fixture.
