I have never made a petition in my life, but apparently this is the issue that has finally done it.

Those pink All Blacks boots with the little highlighter yellow bit on the back have to go.

The All Blacks are called the All Blacks. Black jersey, black shorts, black socks, then you look down and someone’s running around with a pair of highlighters strapped to their feet.

Yeah nah bol.

Bring back black boots.

This is obviously not the biggest issue facing New Zealand rugby, and I am under no illusion that civilisation depends on the outcome of this petition. I just reckon the All Blacks look better in black boots. Meaner, cleaner, more like the All Blacks.

So I’m asking New Zealand Rugby and the All Blacks to do the right thing.

Black boots with the black jersey.

Together we can achieve absolutely nothing.

But at least we tried.
