Pre-season training is already underway and the 2016 jerseys are coming out.
If you’re anything like us, you will have set your alarm for silly o’clock on February 26.
That is when the 2016 Super Rugby season begins and the Highlanders’ try to defend their hard-won trophy.
The first couple of jerseys for the season have been released and we are big fans of the Brumbies’ new home kit. It is a large stride away from their tried and trusted white and navy offerings of bygone years.

Brumbies chief executive Michael Jones comments, “This year is just a new look.
“We certainly haven’t betrayed our history, in fact we’re embracing it as hard as we can going forward.”
The new kit has divided opinion Down Under.
I would hate to be whoever designed the new Brumbies Jersey. It's getting absolutely ripped apart in social media. 😕
