The Wallabies have unveiled their new jersey for the Rugby World Cup – and it marks a significant change from recent designs.

The jersey includes a sizeable amount of green trim around the color but – more interestingly – the Wallabies logo has been moved from the dominant position on the chest to the left sleeve. Taking its place is the Australian rugby coat of arms. This change is a design choice Rugby Australia also adopted for the 2015 World Cup jersey.

In the days leading up to the announcement, the Wallabies Twitter page has been polling fans on their favourite World Cup jerseys, with 2003’s coming out the ultimate victor.

It’s unconfirmed at this point in time whether the jersey will be used in the international matches leading up to the tournament, including this year’s Rugby Championship.

Nations Championship: 'The data shows the north has finally caught up with the south'

Fact: the gap between the North and the South has narrowed considerably - that I get. However, determining that only selecting only Home grown players or playing in the home country is is the optimal strategy is a bit of a toss up and highly reliant on the economies of the home union. I do understand that England and to a lesser degree Ireland selects home based only. The top 14 is a massive threat to their domestic product. France would probably not be affected (the money is at home). Fiji, Argentina, Samoa, Italy and you could even argue Scotland have only benefitted from this. Their players either go overseas to learn at higher levels (Fiji, Samoa, Argentina) or players coming into their leagues to strengthen the home product and their National teams (Scotland, Italy, Japan).

South Africa used to limit its selection to the home based players, but the reality of a weak currency vs what players could earn oversees meant that you lost access to your best players at some stage of their careers, with very few exceptions. Kolbe left SA as he was considered too small for International Rugby (yes coaches/selectors view), but ironically in France he forced selectors to notice his endeavors and select him. He is only reaching 50 caps now despite being north of 30 - granted rotation and the odd injury also played a role, but for the most part it is having debuted or becoming a regular so late.
