Our Pumas?

Yes indeed. Those are our Pumas! Or at least they will be. From next year(thats 2010, foo!) our Six Nations champions will defend their title wearing in Puma gear. No national team that I know of is currently supplied by Ze Germanz but French club Biarritz are and they look alright. This is good on several fronts. The ugly template(Us, Scots, Sprinboks, Aussies) Canterbury use to will be a thing of the past and secondly if you liked it.....it will be cheap CHEAP. Saw them in Maher's of Cork for only 35 sheets. Get in there!
This is a positive move on the IRFU's part who, like Munster, are awaking to the possiblities offered by a sportswear brand thats doing good things right now. Canterbury need a serious shake up after their failed attempt at 'edginess'. Its pretty pathetic for Canterbury Of New Zealand to not be able to have their national team wear their tat.
