We caught up with a couple of Ireland's Grand Slam stars at the World Cup jerseys launch ☘️🏆
The 2003 World Cup ensemble still has our hearts, though.
We had the pleasure of seeing what the Ireland jersey for the World Cup looks like on the lads that will be filling it out, and it held up better thanIn news that will stun few of you, these new jerseys look class on the players they are designed for. Ross Byrne wears it well, but it looks snug as a bug on Peter O'Mahony and Iain Henderson. As for the rest of us, beauty will be in the eye of the one beholding ourselves in the shop mirror.
During our sit-down with Ross Byrne, we raised the point that Hansen and James Lowe had brought a real laid-back flavour to the Irish backline. Byrne found the thought of lumping the two wingers in together amusing, adding another layer to the Hansen mystique that has already enamoured Johnny Sexton, Caelan Doris, Andy Farrell and more. Simply put, he was cut from an entirely different cloth.
That brings us back nicely to the jersey itself. Well, it still does not come close to our favourite ever Ireland World Cup jersey -AdvertisementIain Henderson, Peter O'Mahony and Ross Byrne pictured at the launch of Canterbury’s Ireland World Cup Jersey, which will be worn by the Irish team in France this autumn.
