Super Rugby ref kit colour clashes

[Blue Smartie]

Just catching up with the last round of Super Rugby but it struck me that in a couple of games the refs made colour choices which made them indistinguishable (at least on telly).
In particular the Aussie grey kit in the Rebels game and the new dark SA kit with the Hurricanes in black.
Anyone else lose sight of the ref??

Yep and it's as bad in the AP - when Warriors play.

I bet it looks fine live so they don't think of the TV issue

Back in the days of black & white TV, watching Wales v Scotland was tricky.

How ironic that the first Rugby match Televised in Colour was between England & NZ played by teams wearing .... White & Black

"Tricky"?........ It's remains uncomfortable watching now, especially for the skirts :biggrin: :eng:

Aren't the last 4 words redundant?

Thought you might be trying to hassle the pink kit the NZ boys wear. They dont have to worry about matching a team!

My association looks as if it's bringing pink kits in next year I quite often ref Redcliffe though (predominantly red jerseys), so I will be lobbying for an alternate strip
