The Springboks wore their new change kit today in their victory over the Pumas in Salta – and the reaction to the all red outfit has been mixed to say the least.

Must be the ugliest SA rugby jersey of all time. So embarrassing I can't even call it a Springbok jersey #SSRugby

Can anyone please explain the Springbok colours tonight?! Looks like someone threw up on the jersey. Gross.

For the record, the red jersey was commissioned to celebrate 25 years of rugby diversity in South Africa. It was inspired by the red part of the iconic South African flag – so to be fair, the thinking process behind it makes sense.
That’s no guarantee people are going to like it, though.
