I'm a little surprised too this weekend. It's the "alternate" kit because in the good old days (before London Irish dispensed with the etiquette), the home team would change in the event of a colour clash. The only reason they morphed into "away" shirts was due to the marketeers.Iain wrote:I get that, it's just that there's a potential colour clash this week!!

Re: Glaws vs Tigers
I am amazed. nearly 3 hours since Jumbo produced the team sheet for us and all we are talking about is hangover cures and what colour shirts whoever plays for Tigs will be wearing, a signof the times?
I see that we've gone for the home strip with Bateman at hooker, do we know whether he'll be wearing full length socks or the short ones favoured by Thompstone and Manu? Anyone know if Manu is just being rested or hasn't his shirt come back from the laundry yet?
Apart from the clothing it's interesting to see that we are carrying injuries but still can rest players and still put out a good team. I would put Glaws at no.3 on my list of grounds where we really want to win at, 1 and 2 being Stains and Barf. I think we should get the result and a bonus point would be very nice, only one for the season so far is a tad worrying for a team with ambition - and a choice of shirts.......

And there's me thinking that Manu's calf was too big to get the socks to fit !!!!GS wrote:
