[QUOTE="SimonG, post: 687940, member: 71048"] The black shirt of NZ is second only to the yellow jersey of Brazil in iconic status in international sport..so just as Brazil are most peoples second team in football the same applies to NZ in Rugby. People respect the best. NZ are even more unique to Brazil though in that in much of the world football is a religion whereas it's just NZ for Rugby so they stand out that bit more...grannies knowing about player positions etc. Kiwis know the game in ways none of us could comprehend. Never did get a NZ jersey (would have got a number 11 if I had)...did get a Brazil number 9 with Ronaldo. [/QUOTE]
