Australian rugby union team goes hi-tech with new jumpers

[AndyS]

It all sounds a bit bollocks, but I suppose cheaper than the heart transplant that some of them actually need when the going gets tough. I can just hear it now - "It was a close game, but the opposition dug deep and our support hose weren't up to the job of keeping us running"

[blueandblack]

Bummer. Us old geezers could do with something to slow the heart rate and speed up performance at times.

But you don't want the heart rate slowed down too much. It might reach 0 BPM.

[Burgs]

Is 4bpm worth the investment???
What a crock, IRB should mandate all teams to use pre 1990 fabrics and designs, bring back the classics, jersey's you can wear until you can see through them!

[jazza93]

If it actually does slow down your heart rate it should be torn up and banned in all sports, that is just cheating.

Well maybe we can keep them untill it helps us win the world cup (It will improve Giteau's goal kicking % by 30%) and then ban them.

Although im guessing if its not banned already it doesn't do much and is all talk.

More importantly, can opposition front rows actually bind onto the jumpers in order to reduce the number of collapsed scrums that have been a blight on the game since the fashion of these sleek jerseys?

[Burgs]

They have little carbon fibre handles attached Jedi

& does it bring tears to the eyes if they are squeezed?

Only to any Prop who played pre Pro

[tragic]

These jerseys sound ... interesting.

Can't wait to see what sort of shorts the boffins invent.

I wonder why the people who make decisions about these matters appear to be blind to something that seems to be so bleedin' obvious?

That's good to see, All the Soceroo fans can save money by buying a single jersey.

It's not atrocious, but it's a tee shirt! looks like I'm in the vodafone one for another 4 years!

[TOCC]

i cant find anything wrong with it, it looks pretty decent, but your right it does look like a t-shirt

[Burgs]

Any chance of a screen shot for us (ok, just me...) internet retarded people?
