'The Gold Brigade'

   The 'Rugby Championship' is just around the corner [after the Waratahs take out this year's Super 15 that is] and you may or may not have noticed that the Wallabies change jersey sponsors these days almost as often as they put them on!! Asics is the current mob, who mercifully fixed up the cow pat socks and the shorts that looked like nappies. This t-shirt is one I bought earlier this year.
   The Wallabies 'gold' is OK infield but ins't always the best look off it... hence the navy option with team colour in a logo or the name!! At least we've had the stylised Wallaby since the 1990's.
   I chose this t-shirt for this week as I am so excited at the brand of rugby the current Wallabies are capable of... with a forward pack chosen on form and with a blend of youth and experience, we have the parity to launch some attack through a stable back line brim full of outside talent....
Folua seemingly able to slice through any defence a couple of times
Adam Ashley-Cooper making line breaks
Kurtley Beale will get more game time and has such attacking outlook [no chip kicks please]
Bernard Foley knows his job and gets the ball to where it should be with good passing
Nick White is learning to run and does have a great kicking game

   In winter who would know you're wearing the Wallabies t-shirt, well the wearer would!! I have no predictions v All Blacks this year but I am genuinely keen to watch what's possible and believe we can compete... let's face it if the All Blacks choose their own blend of youth and experience they are at formidable anywhere!!
