NZ becomes the All Silvers
From correspondents in Aix-En-Provence, France
September 18, 2007
NEW Zealand players will not be wearing black shirts at a Rugby World Cup game for the first time in 12 years when it faces Scotland on Sunday.
As the home team, Scotland has chosen to wear its traditional dark blue jerseys for the Pool C match at Murrayfield, meaning the All Blacks will have to don their silver-grey second strip to avoid a colour clash.
The last time New Zealand wore a non-black jersey at the tournament was against Scotland in the 1995 quarter-finals.
Wearing white did not appear to hurt as it won 48-30.
"We're still playing for New Zealand and running out with the same guys. I guess it won't make a difference, but we'll see,'' second-row Chris Jack said.
Prop Tony Woodcock agreed with his teammate.
"It's still got the silver fern on, that's the main part,'' he said.

Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.

"Remember lads, rugby is a team game; all 14 of you make sure you pass the ball to Giteau."
If there's anyone's to part company with one of their arms, I'm betting it will be one who labeled them "scotchmen" that'll be learning to do a whole lot of things one handedOriginally Posted by Flamethrower

I think silver really suits the All Blacks, you know, silver representing 2nd place and all.
Now which team has two world cups and wears a GOLD jumper??
