The Irish one is not RWC, no logo and Vodafone advert. I liked the Japanese one, details with Fleur de Lis very nice

@Machpants yeah, of course its not the RWC one, thought it was clear that just the template they will be using

@antipodean said in Rugby World Cup news:
ive seen quite a few people getting butt hurt about this obviously hugely distorted keyring, i just cant see them having that across the front...so without it it actually looks like a good jersey, just some blue and red detailing on the sides and collar

@antipodean said in Rugby World Cup news:
NZ commissioned some French bloke to do their strip
England commissioned some recently departed Aussie bloke to do theirs
-
@antipodean said in Rugby World Cup news:
The base design may be correct but the England shaped squiggle is just the RWC23 England design and won't be anywhere near the jersey.

another one i quite like -
Chances are increasing that former Blues and Wellington loose forward Taine Plumtree may be a surprise inclusion in the Wales Rugby World Cup side before he has set foot on a Welsh rugby ground.
Plumtree, 23, the son of former All Blacks assistant coach John Plumtree, was born in Wales and is about to join the Scarlets to prepare for their 2023-24 season.A former New Zealand Under-20 representative, he made his DHL Super Rugby Pacific debut for the Blues in 2021 and played six games for the side. Able to play in any of the loose forward positions, Plumtree could be useful for coach Warren Gatland.
The retirement of Justin Tipuric and Josh Navidi and the unavailability of Ross Moriarty and Josh Macleod has left Wales with fewer options in the loose.
Also in the loose forward area are Plumtree a, Dan Lydiate, Jac Morgan, Tommy Reffell, Aaron Wainwright, Taulupe Faletau and Christ Tshiunza.
Gatland named a 54-man squad to prepare for the Cup, but only 44 are available to travel to Switzerland this week for a two-week pre-Cup training camp.
BBC Wales said it was expected that Plumtree would join the group.
Wales will have another camp in Turkey later this month and then play warm-up games against England and South Africa.

@pakman cant believe this hasnt been sorted one way or another yet!

Could it be a conspiracy?!

i assume the RWC one will be the same with the RWC logo on the chest and no sponsor...nailed it, classic with just small unique details

@akan004 said in Rugby World Cup news:
Our match day one against the Argies didn't look too bad. Could barely notice the ferns.
Once the game started I didn’t really notice them tbh
-
I didnt notice them at all, but was watching on a laptop while looking out the window longing for the rain to stop so I could play golf!
