Wallabies unveil new Wallaby-less jersey for the World Cup
The Wallabies have unveiled their new jersey for the Rugby World Cup - and it marks a significant change from recent designs.
The jersey includes a sizeable amount of green trim around the color but - more interestingly - the Wallabies logo has been moved from the dominant position on the chest to the left sleeve. Taking its place is the Australian rugby coat of arms. This change is a design choice Rugby Australia also adopted for the 2015 World Cup jersey.
In the days leading up to the announcement, the Wallabies Twitter page has been polling fans on their favourite World Cup jerseys, with 2003's coming out the ultimate victor.
It's unconfirmed at this point in time whether the jersey will be used in the international matches leading up to the tournament, including this year's Rugby Championship.

It took a whole season to wash the Foster stink out to be fair. There's still been substantial change though. I think only 7 starters from the RWC QF v IRE started the IRE test in Dublin. This year wasn't the year for full innovation, transition needs to be balanced, & incremental. The new coaches will be able to stamp their full mark on the ABs from 2025 when Razor will select his first proper squad from a mega talented player pool. Exciting times ahead.

The amount of inconsistency with the head contact law coming into the game. No red yesterday and no yellow today, but then another player gets a suspension for a side on headonhead (as apposed to these two sweet shoulders) contact last week. Happy if there is a referee change to having a bit more commensense.
