    Just saw that on Reddit, if it's real it's very underwhelming.

    Looks like a poorly done throwback to the puma jersey from 2010.

    Just seen it on reddit. Can't be sure it's real but given it's same design as England's I'm guessing it is

    Reminds me of the 07 WC jersey.

    Which, y'know, nobody needs to be reminded of.

    Hard to make out the shape of it, but design wise it’s still a huge improvement on the current jersey’s.

    To be fair I associate all Irish rugby world cup jerseys with failure.

    Best Irish jersey is the 2003 WC one, by a mile imo. Good colour, and understated in the right way. Peak highlights and fingerless gloves.

    Would love to see an Adidas Irish jersey

    Are you trying to break the internet?


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,479 ✭✭✭clsmooth


    I quite like the current one we have. Although our form has been pretty poor in it NZ win aside


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,496 ✭✭✭arsebiscuits1


    Seeing the leaked one I quite like it.

    I said it about the England one that the simple design of it means it will last. Some jerseys really do not stand the test of time.

    I think our RWC jersey will look very nice once you see it fitted and advertised.

    Plain jersey with a simple design and no branding is enough for me. I will likely buy it unless it is made of that bizarre wetsuit like material the RWC'15 jersey was made from.

    The updated RWC Logo is much nicer than that monstrous old IRB logo too

    yep sure am, we should have played New Zealand for pink slips last time and took their Adidas sponsorship

    "The Ireland Rugby World Cup jersey is more than just a jersey, it’s a source of energy. The pattern of the jersey takes inspiration from the northern lights, creating a bold and vibrant spirit for their Rugby World Cup campaign."

    That's cack tbh. Same neck as the new Munster one by the looks of it.

    I got the same impression, I wonder did the leaker actually just change the colour profile of the Munster jersey in photoshop. It probably also explains why the Jersey is sponsored by bank of Ireland when
    1. There are no sponsors on WC jerseys
    2. The Irish team is sponsored by Vodafone

    But I am probably wrong.

    I can't tell if the last two posts are serious...

    One definitely isn't the other I'm not so sure about


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,743 ✭✭✭P.Walnuts


    I'm consistently amazed by how people can get caught up in a jersey, not just the Irish one, provincial ones too....I mean does it really matter?

    I haven't thought of wearing , nevermind buying a jersey since I was about 15 :confused:

    I love a jersey but I'm dangerously close to the "I'd better consider a polo shirt instead" age-bracket.

    Say nothing and let see where it goes

    Not a huge fan of the collar and cuffs.

    Everything else is working for me.

    We're in a vacuum. The internet and sports fans on the internet abhor a vacuum. So in this particular vacuum, we fill it idiotic jersey talk.

    I not sure I like it to be honest, I always thought the non-sponsors look a bit weird, but Ill hold off till I see it on someone. Sitting on a hanger never looks great.


  • Registered Users Posts: 16,387 ✭✭✭✭Clegg


    Sexton has a thumb injury and is out for at least a month. Ireland hope he might be back for the warm up game against Italy on the 10th of August.
