As the Springboks prepare for Sunday’s ‘away’ game against Scotland, it has been confirmed which jersey they will wear.Primarily during last year’s World Cup, there was a big focus on what kit the various teams wore as World Rugby enforced a policy that would cater to viewers with colour vision impairment.
It meant that the Springboks were often unable to play in their traditional green jerseys, such as when they last faced Scotland in their opening Rugby World Cup pool game. On that occasion, the Springboks donned their ‘aqua’ jerseys, which so many supporters seemed to have a love-hate relationship with.guidelines around the best jersey colour combinations will only come into full effect for all World Rugby competitions in 2025.
“While the guidelines will not come into effect until 2025 for World Rugby competitions, we have been making moves to implement them. “In the small number of fixtures where there are challenges either as a result of this guidance or traditional kit clashes for broadcast where colours are similar or the same, unions have been supportive and accommodating. This collaboration is very much appreciated.”The Springboks have switched into full-out Test mode after a brief break since the conclusion of the Rugby Championship, and it is worth remembering that their clash against Scotland will take place on Sunday evening.
