The Springboks are not permitted to wear their traditional green and gold jersey in Saturday’s Test against Ireland.
Because World Rugby’s regulations do not allow the Springboks to play in their traditional kit, the South Africans will don their alternate jersey in their first home Test since winning the World Cup.
As is customary in rugby, when there is a colour clash between two sides, the home team must wear a changed strip, a law in direct opposition to what happens in football, where it’s the away team that changes their jersey to avoid a kit clash. This means with the Springboks hosting Ireland in a two-Test series, the South Africans would have to don their second kit which is the one thatkit, which previously garnered a lot of debate because South Africans love and hate it in equal measure.
