The tone in your voice when you say the total is priceless. Ditto the "for the children". Seriously though I love this channel, the epitome of reasonable rugby content. No bombast, no nonsense, plus enjoyable bonus China content. What's not to love? Keep it up (hopefully with a new Zebre jersey if they get a few more wins).
Always love seeing your jersey updates, especially the international jerseys as I collect them myself. Last i counted I had around 50-55 different countries, I don't have a Swiss jersey yet though so I'm a bit jealous of that one of yours.
So true about football! The first match I watched with my future American wife someone took a dive and was rolling around, she was like “jeez is that guy going to be alright?” I could only respond “yeah he'll be fine”. A few moments later he was making a lung busting run (can't remember the player). I'm gonna have to send you a newer French jersey at some point. That one really depresses me, it reminds me of when we were shit. The latest ones from Le Coq Sportif are silky.
The reason for the change in the Western Force Jersey was actually quiet an interesting one. They changed it to represent looking upwards and forwards instead of looking down and backwards. Trying to imply we need to look at where we are going and aiming higher for ourselves.
Nice collection. For your information, « Yellow army » is the nickname of the Clermont fans. In english yes, even in France. Because this name was found by irish journalists in 2010 when thousands of Clermont fans goes to Dublin for a champions cup game against Munster. They were all yellow of course, so the journalists call them yellow army by opposition to the munster’s red army. The nickname remained after that day. Even in France. So you have the real jersey, the same we have in France. It’s not an english speaking version.
I thought I had a lot of jerseys. Around 20.... So thanks for putting that in perspective. Rugby jerseys are the best sports apparel, hands down. Cheers
Man I’ve only got in the region of the mid 20s, off the top of my head, and been told no more now 😂 your collection is so impressive and still glad you caved and got the new AB one
Fantastic collection. I'm on 51 right now. The three at the top of my list to get are still Argentina, Japan, and Georgia. My most obscure is probably either Malwai 7s or a Gabon jersey of unsure origin. International (alphabetical): Australia, B&I Lions x 3, Canada, England, Fiji x 2, France, Gabon, Germany, Guam, Hong Kong, India, Ireland x 6, Italy, Jamaica, Kenya, Malawi, New Zealand, Nigeria, Samoa, Scotland, South Africa x 2, Spain x 2, Sri Lanka, Tonga, USA, Zimbabwe Club (from most well-known to most obscure): Leinster x 3, Munster, Connacht (URC), Moana Pasifika, Jaguares (Super Rugby), San Diego Legion (MLR), Loonies (PR7s) Minneapolis Mayhem, Des Moines x 2, Portland Oregon (US Senior Club Sides), NC State Women (US College), Austin Avengers (Something called World Arena Rugby from the early 2000s)
Yeah man the prices are crazy - the ones I've bought are virtually never full price (always wait for sales or end of season/second hand). Standard price here is NZ$150, but the new Super Rugby jerseys in 2024 are gonna be $160....
Italy really do nice jerseys, nothing beats there Kappa jersey days. I have the home jersey of the same season of that away jersey shown in your video.
Love this Mark, I'm a bit of a collector myself, but I've got nowhere near the number you have, probably somewhere in the region on 30-35, with a large chunk of those being my own teams Connacht/Ireland.
I have every Leinster jersey since 1981, swapped a few on my travels Clermont and Toulouse , several London Irish jerseys several lions jerseys and my fav hong hong rugby club
I ordered it a couple years ago when Lovell Rugby had some deal on - order a certain amount and get a discount or something.... But by the time the order went through they were out of stock!
I knew you were a Bath fan at heart. Last week I got my boy a new england jersey and a new Bath jersey but he can't have them until Christmas day. I got myself an Ulster jersey. My favourite jersey was my 2003 winning world cup jersey but I lost it
The only super rugby defunct jersey you dont have is the Cats one. I saw some for sale at the Ellis Park Lions rugby shop a few years ago, years after they had gone defunct. Also the Kings.....from E Cape which also went defunct. Amazing collection though
And what year will that be they seem weaker than last year still a contender but just as likely they lose again nothing in sport is ever certain they bottled 2 finals and a semi final no dynasty last forever maybe their chance is gone
@@user-dv1nm6ty8dI would say there is a certain look of determination about them now but if a B side Sale can rattle their cage at home then maybe not…
Leinster were on their way home to tea when Sale scored their last two. Leo Cullen left them the keys: "Turn off the lights lads, when you finish" @@conorharris2451
