undies on the football field.

Reports from England's Daily Mail this week have Nike currently developing a new uniform for the England rugby team to play in next year.
Skin-tight bodysuits.
Yeah, I know. The suits were tested under strictly secret conditions in an England club match last weekend. To check out the report and see some photos click on the link below.

The "jerseys" look like the ones currently worn by the English and French teams, cycling shirt style. The "shorts" are knee length and very similar to those worn by american football players. The idea is that these uniforms will make it impossible for the opposition to tackle the wearers.
The whole thing is an absoloute load of shit, particularly as the team testing them was beaten 48-5. I may be old fashioned but to put it simply, it's the blokes out there playing that decide the results, not their uniforms.
Hey, people can wear what they want, whatever. But really, it's just making the game look a bit silly and I know that if I came up against anybody dressed like that, I would make a special effort to beat the crap out of them.
Anyway, test level footballers don't have to resort to jersey pulling to tackle their opponents and if they did, it wouldn't matter what said opponents were wearing, 'cos a team of jersey-pullers is never gonna win a test match.
At least it gives us another reason to laugh at the English.
