England and their kit partner Nike have officially unveiled their latest sartorial venture - the one-off shirt to mark the Rugby Football Union's Cententary Year that will be worn for one night only against Wales at Twickenham on Saturday.
If Martin Johnson's ambitious selection for the Twickenham showdown and the small matter of almost 130 years of rugby rivalry was not enough to draw your eye to Saturday's game then surely the chance to see England take to the field in their retro-skin-tight number will do the trick.
Looks like a rugby kit and not the soccer/football shirts they are running around in now....there's nothing wrong with simplicity!!!
They should keep this strip...but maybe just shorten the shorts a little....

Actually really stylish and definitely something to keep. I agree with the elegant simplicity as the strip they wear these days makes rucks and mauls resemble a Giraffe, Zebra, Leopard threesome.
