:love:

Only being used for the one match, to celebrate 100 years of Twickenham, but it is lovely.

Pork pie land.
There are old shirts like that in most large Clubs' Clubhouses, from before the professional Era started to make the Guiness Premiership resemble football.... :jester:

Pork pie - there are several in my club's bar. It is strange to think that not too long ago, somebody could play rugby at a local club and also represent England.

Indeed, and some may say it is sad that that is no longer the case.

Unfortunately, the Guiness Premiership looks to be taking Rugby in the same direction as "The Premiership" has taken football. I just hope that we retain enough English players playing in it to ensure that the national team has enough quality players to draw upon.

So they saw then England football shirt, liked it and copied it just replacing the 3 lions with a rose?

To be fair, there weren't many changes in the England kit until 1991:

Oh great.

The next time I wear my threadbare, 20 year old, retro classic (Will Carling's one), England rugby shirt, I'm no longer going to look cool.
I will just look like some skank who can't look after his clothes.

I have emailled JJB sports asking whether they will get it in. Normally I don't shop there, but, knowing I am into my rugby, my former colleagues got me a voucher as a leaving girt.

Even if it isn't in JJB, I'll probably get it anyway.

Nike playing quality tops are pretty rubbish - my old team used them and they had fallen apart by mid-season. I guess they only eally cater to people (professional clubs?), that use a new kit every few matches.

Apparently this will only be available through the RFU and through nobody else, so I'll have to see how flush I feel before buying one (I already owe the missus a night out you see!).
