The gold jersey was first used in 1961 to avoid a colour clash on their tour to SA.
Still this confusion between metals and colours.
"The yellow jersey..." would have avoided the clash with green too.
That's Australian gold my friend and don't you fuckin’ forget it! Canary yellow indeed...
Yeah, yellow it is.
where were you a week ago!
@Kiwiwomble I read that too, and liked the post.
You can never quote enough of The Twelfth Man.

anyone who has ever been to a farm when calves have scours, knows what colour it more closely represents!

@Snowy you're not wrong...but thats small comfort if we get bagged for some sort of cultural insensitivity
We could put a Koru on ours?
> The Wallabies colour is yellow, they can do that with indigenous patterns.
France changeing their blue pissed me off too. Any team that changes their colours so that we can't wear Black are fuckwits.
of course they can, and have done before...but not now and theyre not going to make a new jersey before tomorrow
I asked in another thread if we should maybe do something different with our alternate strip, somethign other than plain white

@booboo why would we ever have silver? :face_with_raised_eyebrow:
i like the idea of the alternative jersey being an "indigenous" Jersey, so maybe mainly white but with Red and Black designs on the sleeves

Jordie Barrett ahead of Will Jordan at 14 makes very little sense IMHO.
I agree , only thing i can think of apart from the goalkicking option ,
With Beaudie playing up in the line as first receiver often , they like having him there to cover fullback ?
But Jordan plays fullback as well i know
-
Jordie has done well but Jordan is the bigger attacking threat, as good or better with the high ball and can play FB. With 2 goal kickers on the field already, Jordie's main advantage is irrelevant. I'm hoping Clarke and Sotutu play well, we need to be testing these guys now and Clarke has shown he has the temperament and x-factor needed for test football.

What he/ you said!

Is ANZ Stadium allowed to be at full capacity for this game, or is it like the NRL grand final with reduced attendance?

Forecasting thunderstorms for the afternoon but it should clear up and will be fine at kickoff. The ground drains pretty well too so conditions should be good.

Thunderstorms are just kicking off now ... I hope they're over by the time I'm walking to my seat!

About to head down to the Ettamogah for a few drinks with the club before we uber in. Tho after yesterday's work drinks I'm inclined to drive...

Yep, got a towel! And ponchos, gloves and beanies for the kids - I'm running with the "red wine" heating system for myself.

But in all seriousness good luck tonight and I hope it's a cracking game of rugby.
