Those attending this evening’s match were the first fans to see and purchase the new limited edition jersey. The 2020 Gallagher Chiefs Women in Rugby jersey will be available to purchase online once the match has concluded. Chiefs members and sponsors were given a pre-order opportunity before the jersey was revealed.
The new jersey will be worn by the Chiefs in round ten when they face the Bulls at FMG Stadium Waikato on Saturday 4 April. Each jersey from the playing twenty-three will be signed and donated to twenty-three different schools or clubs within the Chiefs Region to help raise funds for sports equipment, travel or apparel for their female rugby teams.
Chiefs Rugby Club Chief Executive Officer Michael Collins said: “We are excited to have unveiled the jersey to our members and fans attending tonight. The Club are exceptionally proud of what the jersey represents, and the Gallagher Chiefs team are honoured to be able to play in the jersey when they take on the Bulls.”
Chiefs Rugby Club General Manager Commercial said: “As an organisation with over 30% of our non-playing staff being female, we are so proud of the Gallagher Chiefs for acknowledging women in rugby with this jersey. The female contribution to our game is imperative to its success, from the females that play on the field, right through to the females that support it.”

Turn it up. Give me your john A game would ya!
Go to commentsI didn't really get the should tone from it, but maybe because I was just reading it as my own thoughts.
What I read it as was examples of how they played well enough in every game to be able to win it.
Yeah I dunno if Ben wouldn't see it that way (someone else would for sure need to point it out to him though), I'm more in the Ben not appreciating that those close losses werent one off scenarios camp. Sure you can look at dubious decisions causing them to have to play with 14 or 13 men at the death as viable reasons but even in the games they won without such difficulties they made a real struggle of it (compared to how good some of their first half play was). This kind of article where you trying to point out the 3 losses really would most likely have been wins only really makes sense/works when your other performances make those 3 games (or endings) stand out.
There might have been a sentence here and there to ensure some good comment numbers but when he's signing off the article by saying things like ..

I don't really see it. Always making sure people are upto date with the SH standing/perspective! NZ went through some tough times with so many different perspectives and reasons why, but then it was.. amusing how.. behind everyone was once they turned a corner. More of these 'unfortunate' results returned against SA and France at the start of the RWC which made it extra tasty to catch other teams out when they did bring it. So that created some 'conscious' perspective that I just kept going and sharing re thoughts on similar predicaments of other teams, I had been really confident that Wallabies displays vs NZ were real, that the Argentines can backup their thing against Aus and SA (and so obviously the rest), and current one is that England are actually consistent and improving with their attack (which everyone should get onboard with), and I'm expecting a more dominant display against Japan (even though they should have more of their experienced internationals for this one) that highlights further growth from July. 👍
