Pipe Down Jonah

Now, Jonah Lomu is not a man that I criticise lightly, but I have to take issue with his ludicrous attitude towards England wearing a black away strip for the World Cup.

If you’ve not heard what Mr Lomu has to say you can see it below and on the BBC website here.



So. Waddaya think? My thoughts?

Grow up Jonah, you peenarse!

The All Blacks are a rugby team, plain and simple. And as much as you might like to think you’re this untouchable religious order, you’re not.

A team can wear whatever colour they choose as their away strip and, while I have to admire Nike’s audacious PR move, the RFU has chosen a strip that looks pretty fucking cool. (I also love Nike’s touch of putting Flutey in the promo shots)
















Of course, it’s not as if the All Blacks would do anything like “disrespecting the legacy of past players” by wearing a colour synonymous with another team, is it?

Oh wait, what’s this?
