England to wear all black strip at rugby World Cup in New Zealand

[DPK]

Why do we have a Bok tag to this thread? England All Black with a Bok tag, something fishy here?

Probably because of all the Saffa players in the England squad

 

[Sully]

What does it really matter what colour they wear?

 

[Hardtackle]

hopefully they'll do a pom haka too. like to see 'em do a pantomime of a tea party, doffing the cap and a little buggery

Correct. The key issue is whether their jerseys have collars. Fashion... love it.

I don't know if they wore it. But it's on their store as the 2010/11 change shirt and it's the same one they wore against us.

That looks pretty good

I always liked the real gold colour of the 80s type jerseys. I don't like the lemony coloured ones.

Although I have no idea what relevance this has to the rest of the thread... I heartily agree!

The true gold also differentiated us from the other sporting codes. The current canary yellow and jersey with no collar does make it look suspiciously like a soccer jersey.

It was just pointed out to me on twitter, but look up the nz alternate strip. Have any poms complained?

How are home or away games chosen as part of the draw? Random in pool games, pool winners in quarters, random in semis/final?

 

[drewprint]

You know what, I don't have a problem with this at all. England will be wearing this dark jersey against other teams, not the All Blacks, so there will be zero level of confusion. New Zealand does not own the colour black. Stop being such sooks.

 

[Moses]

Is black a choking colour?

I support two teams in Rugby. The Wallabies and who ever are playing England.

I hope Argentina stuff them and the NZ crowd let them know what they think

I agree with you 100% percent, I always take that stand. Expect I support NZ and any team who plays england

 

[Patto.]

I guess the bright side is the Wallabies get to beat two All Black sides in one tournament

 

[Jets]

Not sure if it has been mentioned but Wales' away kit is black too

After the way they played yesterday I'd be surprised if we get past emerald green and blue...

That looks like my old grandad's underwear.

It's was more like orange! I have always liked the green and gold hoops we wore in a WC match against Romania.

 

[villafella]

Here's the green and gold hoops. Looks good.

england is only trying to mislead a few of the drunken kiwi's in the stand to cheer for them , thinking their the all blacks .
