RWCR3 Ireland vs Springboks @ 23/9 21h00

Are there any posters who are colour blind, or know other rugby supporters who are? If so, have the kit colours detracted from their enjoyment of the game in the past, and are the new designs actually working as intended?

Sir William Blackledge Beaumont said he is.

So why do you reckon there's been this recent "pandering" to the colour blind wrt team colours?

It's hard because only 0.4% of the world suffer from some form of colour-blindness and I don't know anyone who is colourblind. Saw an article were there were some twitter posts from colourblind fans who said it made a difference. Thing is you only need to clearly distinguish the two opposing teams. You could do that with the shorts or socks or an arm band. The big hoo-ha about the Springboks is we have a traditional light away kit anyways so why the redesign. My theory is the new Bok away jersey is in the colours of their two main sponsors.

But I already told you why. Because Bill Beaumont is colourblind.

AJ Checkers isn't a Bok/SA Rugby sponsor as far as I can tell, not listed on the SA Rugby website as a sponsor. I don't remember them ever being a Bok sponsor. The Checkers stuff is ambush marketing that has worked. This SA Rugby statement on IP infringement and legal action seems aimed at Checkers:

Yeah I think you are right, Checkers are a broadcast sponsor for SuperSport, together with FNB if I'm not mistaken?

South Africa v Ireland
Date: Saturday 23rd September 2023

Venue: Stade de France, Paris

Kick-off: 8:00pm (9:00pm local)

Referee: Ben O'Keeffe (New Zealand)

Oom, I know you set the format for the titles, but do you reckon you could add the day and time of kick off in the thread titles?

There’s too many games to keep track of now.

Thanks

Perhaps not but FNB is and they have the same colours. All the Checkers adds on DSTV when the rugby is on might have made me believe they are sponsors. The link you posted was aimed at Escort meats that recently lost their case in the high court on their "SPRINGBOX" marketing.

https://www.news24.com/news24/southafri ... n-20230916





EDIT: The Boks don't have any rights on teal and white so I doubt they can do anything about Checkers jumping on the bandwagon. Even the banners on DSTV, when there is a review taking place is a Checkers add.

Tell me then wise one, why the Checkers kit? Clearly, they have a traditional white kit also, and as far as I know white contrasts any darker colours just fine. So, why do we need that teal monstrosity? To sell more jerseys? Everyone I know would rather just buy the home jersey. Away jerseys never outsell the green and gold.

So, Checkers is a broadcast partner with SuperSport. SuperSport who pays SA rugby for the right to broadcast all SA rugby games. How many much millions did they pay? Would you say probably more than any other direct sponsor?

There's also Checkers liquor. I'm sure there's many who thinks "Hmmmmm...I want a case of Castle delivered to my house at halftime".

Played with one. Struggled when both jerseys were dark/light. Used to get by on shorts and socks.

Executed a memorable tackle on our centre one time but in fairness the pitch was a mudbath and nobody knew who was on what side.

Calm down AJ. The colour is called 'Hyper Jade" for what it's worth. And no, the Springboks did not change their away kit colour to accommodate Checkers Sixty60. You are of course free to believe this, so go right ahead.

Calm as a cucumber and a bit bored to be honest. Don't know why I nailed my cross to this particular topic except to kill time. There's no colour called hyper jade or even teal, it's fokon see groen according to me.

I'll be honest Sards, all I have on my mind lately is this bloody Ireland game. I've been looking forward to it for a heck of a long time, it's going to be epic. My nerves will be knackered by the time kick-off comes.

Yup. It's a potential banana skin. But to be honest. I would rather face France than the ABs in the quarters. As much as they are downplaying their team. That last performance was clinical. Like they had put the right combinations together. It's going to be too fast for our defense.
So with that in mind I am pretty chilled. It's a kinda " it doesn't matter " thing. But it's not nice to be beaten at all.

'Hyper Jade'

1st choice Sharks scrumhalf and 4th choice Bok scrumhalf.

[Blake]

See a lot of that Checkers around. Must be Bulls supporters, they wear pink. Vokket.

It was a clever way to sell more jerseys. Apparently kids and women like the Checkers design.

The brand is green and gold though. This is mainly a World Rugby fuck up imo. My understanding of the new rules is at RWCs the Boks and ABs cannot play eachother in their normal traditional jerseys, just like Scotland and the Boks cannot, they're dark colours which means France too. Because of the colour blind green and red jerseys cannot play eachother either, so that's Wales too. Ireland play in green so add them to the list. The only big teams the Boks can wear traditional jersey against without some kak process to get there which puts the other team into an away jersey are England/Wallabies/Pumas.

Kinda happy the Boks went with a joke jersey, if we're going to destroy a tradition for no reason lets nuke it.

My solution would be to ignore the colour blind. Fuck them.

Are you sure it's only at the World Cup? My understanding is that it will now be the standard for all WR sanctioned tournaments STARTING at the World Cup. Se we are stuck with "hyperjade" abomination until Nike designs a new alternate jersey. Traditionally those only come out every second year, se I suspect we'll see a lot more of it until then if I am correct and this is not a RWC-only directive.

[_Os_]

7/1. Duane, Pollard, Mapimpi, Le Roux all didn't make it. Total trust that Libbok and Willemse have got this. Not great options in the air on the wings. Reinach on the bench to maybe go dual scrumhalves late in the game.

RasNaber aren't going to die wondering.
