1220538 2011-08-02 03:54:00 Nearly $200 for a T shirt, are they gold plated? gary67 (56)
1220539 2011-08-02 04:08:00 Guess it's a wee bit cheeky, but it makes sense, being the opposite colour and all. I think the English jerseys look pretty good actually. wratterus (105)

Doesn't really matter what colour it is does it?
They will only ever use it if the black jersey is too similar to the home side's jersey.

I don't think so but the people on the telly this morning were getting quite uptight about the whole thing, saying it was outrageous that England had chosen a black away strip etc etc but they didn't mention once that the Pacific Nations (read All blacks) had a white away one and have had it for the last two or three years !!!

Seems the English pyschology may be working - on the public if not the team....yet !!!
