The Springboks will not be donning their traditional Green and Gold jersey when they tackle France on Saturday evening. Here’s why.
While South Africa and Les Bleus wore their traditional strips the last time the two sides met at the 2023 Rugby World Cup, that will not be the case this time around as the visitors will be kitted out in their alternative white jerseys.
This is because of World Rugby adopting a policy, from 2025, that Test teams will have to wear ‘light’ or ‘dark’ kits to make it easier for spectators who are colour blind.
