Looks like a dodgy Celtic away jersey. Keep in mind that's how it looks on a model who is in shape. It will be an eyesore on the average rugby fan.

I'd say if that was released as a training jersey it wouldn't get the same reaction. It's a decent enough jersey in some respects but as an alternate jersey for the national team it's woejus.

Speak for yourself, I am an Adonis and it still wouldn't look good on me.

new Alternate kit

I'd happily take the young fit Thierry Dusatoir that appears to come with it. Could contract him out as a ringer every Sunday morning.

The top and shorts are a different colour and all.

PTH2009 · 06-10-2017 11:56AM

Alternative jerseys are a money racket

We won't be wearing it vs South Africa as there dark green too (we were our home jersey when we play them away). No colour clashes with any 6 nations teams or other major nations

Always stick to my polo shirts instead of jerseys and buy one every 2/3 years depending. You still lads wearing jerseys from the early 00's and the Aldi gear at games

We will be in this Jersey.

Last 2 times we have hosted the saffers we have worn the alternate strip

stephen_n · 06-10-2017 01:56PM

Still better than the purple yoke

This...

Club/provincial teams wear their alternative jerseys maybe 2 or 3 times and international teams maybe once.

You're right it's a racket.

I don't think we even wore the purple one in a match in the end?

irishbucsfan · 06-10-2017 01:59PM

Actually is much much better than that picture makes it look imo

Is it really though? I mean, nobody is forced to buy any of them, let alone the alternative jerseys. And nobody is forced to buy every iteration of them either! The problem seems to be just that some people can't deal not having the latest shirt

It's not really a racket though?

There will always be a time that teams are required to wear differing strips because both their primary ones are the same.

And there are people who want to buy it because taste and desire are totally subjective.

No team forces their fans to buy anything.

I wont be buying this alternate strip, but I will probably buy the home one.

Now when teams start saying tickets only available with a purchase of such and such jersey or entry only permitted to those in whatever garb, it becomes a racket.

Right now it is a simple case of supply and demand

MJohnston · 06-10-2017 02:14PM

I'll be happy if this means the purple one goes for cheap, I actually grew to really like that one.

Also according to Irish Rugby on Facebook we will be wearing it against South Africa

thomond2006 · 06-10-2017 04:11PM

Professional rugby is a money racket sure.

thomond2006 · 06-10-2017 09:48PM

Stockdale to start.

ionadnapóca · 06-10-2017 09:55PM

Prob Against Fiji
Earls/zebo, Conway v SA
Trimble is prob still in The mix. But I think he's fin at int level

Stockdale is a better player than Conway, he has all the goods. Don't know if he'll be picked in November but it is inevitable to happen soon, just too good not to be included.

Would be disappointed if he doesn't get gametime in at least 2 games in november.

RichieRich89 · 06-10-2017 10:29PM

I think Stockdale should be first choice left wing

Former Former · 06-10-2017 10:39PM

With Kearney and Ringrose almost definitely out, and big injury clouds over Earls, Zebo and Payne, there's a lot of scope for younger guys to get some time.

I'd love to see Stockdale get a proper run against South Africa.

I would be disappointed if anyone chose Conway ahead of Stockdale. The bloke is going to get 50 caps. He needs to be involved now.

Former Former · 06-10-2017 10:55PM

Based on what I've seen, Treadwell could be the next best lock after Toner and Hendo, I wouldn't be surprised to see him overtake Dillane in November.

Treadwell was quite quiet on the Summer Tour though. Ryan easily outshone him.
