England’s Nike Rugby Kit Under Scrutiny after Numbers Come Off

Nike new black kit for the England rugby team was in the middle of controversy as officials warned if the numbers peeled off like they did against Argentina on Saturday then England would be fined.

The new Nike black second strip was revealed in August along with its all white counterpart.

The tournament organisers said they would be seeking assurances from England that there will be no repeat in Sunday’s Pool B encounter with Romania. 

An England spokesman, who would not confirm whether the same numbers would be used against Romania, said: “Nobody has contacted us yet. They know we will sort it out.”
