IRFU to land €15m kit deal

[Bullitt]

Agreed, although in fairness nigh-on all RL kits are horrible.

 

[gingergenius]

yeh they seem to take tight-fitting to an extreme...

I like Catalans kit this season, England and PNG in the RLWC and most of the NRL kits are nice

 

[roadtogundagai]

Does anybody know when Ireland's new kit will be released?? I would have guessed soon because the lads will be and have been wearing it for the training get togethers, but as the IRFU are really slow on updating their website I am in need of knowledge (on this subject at least) please impart said knowledge!!!

No f'n clue. They won't release any information either, just to "pleae check back to the website" b.s.

 

[soto14]

no news yet re the release date for the kit?

 

[Prestwick]

Maybe they'll all walk out in last years kit and start laughing because this was a huge practical joke..

 

[An Tarbh]

well finally we've had the launch, about time, can't remember so much anticipation over a feckin' jersey.

 

[Bullitt]

Well there's an anti-climax.

Hmm, may vomit.

 

[An Tarbh]

well it's a vast improvement on the last one.

 

[Jockstap]

The material of the Jersey looks like it's been made from a swim cap.

I liked the last one, or at least it grew on me, hopefully the same thing will happen with this one. I think the colour is too bright though.

 

[Jockstap]

It seems Flannery finally had that sex change operation, and with that zinger I go to bed.

I SWEAR I WAS ABOUT TO SAY THE SAME THING!!!

 

[shazbooger]

Nahh dont like it

 

[monkeypigeon]

Well, I like the design better than the last one but the colour is a bit mankers, so I'm hoping that's the camera's fault like with the original pictures of the new Munster Jersey.

 

[An Tarbh]

well given they're Billy Stickland's pictures I doubt there's an issue with the camera.

"Power Green" apparently. Whatever the **** that is. I actually like the colout, just not the style. Doesnt suit fatboys

In the Times today, Thornley mentioned that O'Connell couldnt talk the first time they tried to talk to him as D'Arcy let quite an audible ripper loose before the questions came at him. Everytime he tried to answer a question he jsut started giggling again, so they had to go talk to BOD instead.

I think that explains O'Connells face at the start while Brian was doing the talking. He looks like he is barely recovering from the laughing fit.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div>

Wheeled out first were Paul O’Connell and Brian O’Driscoll, but – already discommoded by O’Gara having his shorts on backwards – just as the heroic Lions captain was being asked his first question, he heard Gordon D’Arcy – how shall we put this – break wind.

O’Connell simply broke down laughing, and though the questioner tried to change the line of questioning regarding the new kit, every time O’Connell tried to talk he cracked up again – three times in all before the microphone was turned to O’Driscoll. It will be on YouTube for years.[/b]
