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.

Go to commentsThink it was a great defensive performance by Northampton. They didn't have stage fright in the first half, the Nienaber defense smothered them. They limited Leinster to 15-3 in the first half. It could have been over by then. A great try from Leinster in the start of the second half looked to have sealed it. But Byrne missed another conversion. Northampton started trying little kicks behind the Leinster wingers. Leinster messed one and Smith brilliantly made the conversion. Leinster decided to tighten the game after Byrne missed a straight forward penalty. A few errors got NH into the 22 and they scored and converted with a few minutes left. Another brilliant steal from Lawes saw NH have a final attack which was turned over by Conan. A classic semi final. World record attendance of 82,300. Leinsters 3 week preparation warranted for this one.
