I noticed a similar thing in our first game..... again the lads less keen than the opposition......

It's understandable if it has some meaning to the player involved, but you just imaging how a Portuguese player would feel after being given an AB's jersey from someone he just played against.

It's stories like that that make me proud to be involved with the sport of rugby.

Not according to this blog post

I guess Adidas didn't even want the All Blacks® wearing a competitor's jersey in private.

Whatever the reason, that's pretty fucking lame.
Rugby really loves to suck corporate cock at the moment.

This is from Conrad Smiths mouth. I saw him interviewed.

After their impromptu game of soccer, they swaped shirts and hung out in the changing rooms whilst drinking a few cold ones.

Conrad wouldn't lie! Hes a lawyer (see what I did there?)
