That’s got no truth to it from what I’ve read and heard.
Never say never.
No.
Or if you did, it was somewhere like the Daily Mail on a
Rugby is starting to try to be inclusive of colour-blindness, but certainly not because of 6 fans who can't see the offside line in a game.
Always remember, being nice isn't bad.

Might be wrong but i thought the most common was red/green colour blindness. So Wales vs SA would be an issue.
It would make more sence to move away from green (won't happen) rather than change the away kit to be inclusive.
Most common = only
Why would "moving away from Green" make more sense than "changing the colour no-one cares about to a colour no-one uses as their first choice, and whose choice of colour is explicitly to avoid clashes"?

I’d love to say I don’t read the Mail but I do actually look at their rugby content from time to time as they have some good pieces (sometimes) (not the rest of the paper though as that’s just garbage).
With our home kit generally being dark and mainly green/ black, I quite like an away shirt to be white. The only thing is I’ve realised I’ve never ever purchased a saints away shirt. I’ve got a few European shirts, loads of home ones and training ones but never an away shirt so I can’t have liked them that much.
I’d perhaps like a dark yellow one like some of the historic ones. Would be a nice change. I wonder what most teams away to home shirt sales are out of curiosity.
Apparently Sione Vaenuku is training with the saints on trial. He’s a rugby league second row currently playing at the Sydney Roosters.
Guessing he’s our centre replacement project player.

New away shirt, like it although it’s a bit simple. Reminds me of some of the previous London Irish away shirts.

I agree and yeah I like it. Although those faint stripes(which I do like) look like it's reversible and bleeding through.
I still don't know why you went for a daffodil as the new badge.
I'm not aware of a particularly strong Welsh connection - despite Biggar in the recent past

I don’t like it.
George North as well
Furbank named as captain. While I’m not keen on backs captaining the team, I can’t fault him doing a sterling job end of last season.

For some reason i prefer Captains at hooker, second or back row. No real reason than my own twisted logic and pro-forward bias.
Still George is a good shout if its going to be a back.

I think Furbank will make a good captain. The trouble with picking front row players as captains is that they’re usually off in the final quarter which is often the critical part of the game.

I was previously told it was better for a forward to be captain due to more consistent proximity to the ref, especially during stoppage and set piece situations.

I think that has some truth in it, but ultimately, you pick the best person for the job irrespective of position and with a lot of change in Saints’ pack, I’m not sure there was a standout candidate who is also a guaranteed starter.
Two locks signed on short term deals as our injuries continue.
Our forwards were immense but have looked underpowered this year. Wonder where he is going as he’s a brilliant coach In my view but maybe a saints tinted one.

Mid game interviews were always good value too, I've always been a fan
Wonder if he's got an international role lined up? Can't imagine he's swapping Prem club for Prem club, especially with the talent coming through at Saints
Edit: Just seen it's Saints releasing/choosing not to re-sign him, not him leaving - very surprised at that, they must have someone good lined up for next season

WalesOnline reporting that he turned down a contract extension, and that he could be a target for Wales as they look to freshen up the backroom staff under Gats.
