The one-off jersey colour created with our new apparel partners Adidas is a mix of our scarlet red and East Coast’s sky blue so it’s a deep maroon colour. We wanted to pay tribute to the strong connections with our East Coast whanau and respect the long-standing traditions between the two provinces.

To reward our players for their efforts on the field tomorrow, they’ll get to keep their jerseys and symbolise being part of an incredibly special occasion.
