I'd love to see provincial styled jerseys as a one off for when they play in the regions, like if the Chiefs had a BOP styled one for their game at Bay Oval. That would be an ideal style of heritage jersey IMO.

Some variation of that blue and yellow training jersey from a few seasons ago.

Yeah something along those lines, I have ALB's one too btw haha. I thought something like those old away jersey or sevens designs from the 90s, be a little boring just having hoops but I dunno.

I was going to actually start another thread to post them all each week and discuss them, if someone thinks it good idea perhaps that way to go?

Chiefs in a naki jersey would be wonderful.

I saw him having picnic dinner with his wife/partner on the field of that historic kindergarten on AKL Queen Street the weekend before last. Trying to convince her to move to Perth maybe

@Kiwiwomble yeah the champions website has been shambles for ages. The official Chiefs store has less than Sports Safari.

Looks like a LBGTQ+ shirt

If the tournament can maintain the quality of entertainment it has shown so far this year, then how long until the South African teams and their fans will want to rejoin Super Rugby?

What's helped a lot has been the lack of NZ v AU games. Will be interesting to see if the games are as close and entertaining when the trans- Ta$man matches kick off in earnest.

I know Super Rugby doesn't translate well to Tests, but this year's 6N I feel has been pretty stale. The first 2 weeks of Super Rugby on the other hand.

The rugby isn't as fun to watch but I think it's been a pretty good tournament so far? England beating France, and both of this Saturday's games have been tight. Definitely not as good a spectacle but I wouldn't say it's necessarily been stale.

[JayCee]

Yeah that didn't age well as Scotland scores in the corner.

Yeah I dunno, just doesn't feel as intense as previous years.
