Under Armour Charged Cotton Storm Full Zip Hoodies

Let me just lay it out there at the start: I’m a bit of an Under Armour fan… but let me word it a bit differently.

So for these reasons, I like Under Armour stuff. It’s always worked well. Don’t get me wrong though; I’m not a blind following fanboy – it’s got to prove its worth. Read more

England in black – what does Lomu think… and what do you think?

cmr / July 28, 2011 / No comments

Discussion has been slowly building recently over the news that the England Away shirt for this season is going to be black. Anyone with a passing interest in rugby and the Rugby World Cup can’t have escaped it… and that’s before the shirt is even launched!

With the launch date only a few days away, 13:00hrs on Monday 1st August, some rugby heavyweights aren’t holding back their feelings.

Watch the video below to see a recent interview with Jonah Lomu, and hit the ‘comment’ link to let us know what you think.

In a world where buying a pair of plain black rugby boots seems to be the exception rather than the norm, where do you stand on the ‘in your face’ design of a many modern rugby boots?

Love them or loathe them, colourful boots have steadily made big in-roads over the last few years and the trend doesn’t seem to be slowing down this year. I checked out some of the more colourful offerings from the main boot suppliers.

Where is the publicity for the RWC 2011?

As I write, it’s only 2 months, 3 weeks and some change till the start of the Rugby World Cup 2011. A number of the new rugby kits have already arrived and are on sale now. We’ve got release dates and embargoes and technical info all lined up ready to go live… it’s just waiting to be unleashed on the world.

But where’s the publicity? where’s the buzz? Read more
