to think that the English team look like All Black wannabes in their black kits
(39 Posts)Bear in mind I am Irish and I am just trying to stir things up
Fighting talk bring it on!!!!!!
I am half english and half Irish. But I support any British sides rather than southern hemisphere.
Hate the black kit.
Why are we trying to look like all blacks? After all, which of the two held the world cup the most recently and which side are massive chokers didn't?
I do support the All Blacks (being a kiwi) and was very baffled when I turned on the TV this morning!
Also what the hell happened to their kit that made all the numbers peel off?
I don't think I'm unreasonable to say that England are in fact the jammiest bastards known to man...I nearly decided to change nationality.
I got so annoyed I jumped up and stood on the spiky bit of a belt buckle with bare feet and now have a big cut on the bottom of my foot.
Insert Mutley style rantings here
Oh I am sorry Scarlet but I am ing at you hurting your foot!
Weaseel, you think thats bad. During the week at the Ireland international soccer game, they had to write a players number on his jersey with a black marker! Times are hard indeed
Pagwatch you are half Irish?. I always knew I liked you
I just cant wait for it to start proper tomorrow morning when Wales play C'mon my laddos!!!
As an England fan I think it's ridiculous.
Everyone hates us as it is, so I don't understand why we are trying to annoy the New Zealanders.
And I'll be cheering for Ireland, but can't cheer for Wales.
Thanks queenmaeve
I do feel like a prize tool that's for sure...
Probably not as much as Johnny Wilkinson does though

VERY lucky indeed. I hold out hope as they had a good last 20 minutes or so. Flashes of fire most definitely. I'm hoping it's the new squad ironing out it's kinks.
Did you know there is a Sport topic?
I don't think they look like wannabes of any kind, so YABU.
But I don't like the black kit.

Be better if they could play like the All Blacks too
But it's sport and exercise. This is sport and mocking.
Very important distinction.
I probably shouldn't get started on the mocking though, since we all know the AB will lose in the semis. Hopefully not to France. That's just demeaning.

No channeling, we are brothers in arms in the fight to promote overlooked non-sexy sections.
People do realise that the AB's away shirt is white don't they? Pretty much the same as the England kit.
Why no fuss about that?
Because the All Blacks team colours have always been white and black.
Traditionally England have always had red and white. It seems a bit odd to change to black suddenly.
No, no we don't. The All Blacks should wear black. It's in the name.
Silly to have "away" kit when you're an international team, you will nearly always be away.
Black isn't Nz's property. It annoys me that all their sport is based on their rugby team.
Basketball team : tall blacks
Football: all whites
Hockey: black sticks
Cricket: black caps
They have taken it far too far. So what if the English team have a black jersey? Get a grip people.

So... we don't like it. We want them to wear white with a red rose on it please.

They only looked like the All Blacks until they started playing.
Erm. It's not all based on the rugby actually. Black and white are just 'our colours' as the New Zealand flag is extremely controversial and unpopular. All the iconography and names are either based on those colours or the silver fern which is a native plant.
