[QUOTE="Black Heart, post: 443558, member: 44806"] True. I don't see a problem and it does get to me how precious some people make it. I guess the problem comes about because England have no association with the colour black. In the same way that Tonga has no association with green, or Ireland with blue, or New Zealand with red. The reason is clear why England came to New Zealand with an[I] all black[/I] strip and it's that that some people are a bit ****** off about. I guess one could call it arrogance. I personally couldn't care less. As Richie McCaw said when questioned if he was bothered by the idea of playing England in a white strip: "If the colour of your jersey is going to affect the way you play then you need to take a long look at yourself."
