Wallabies make permanent change to jersey to mark First Nations heritage | tomdecent
The Wallabies have added a new touch of Indigenous heritage to their jersey on a full-time basis.
The Wallabies have two jerseys: their main gold strip, which will now have the new-look number on the back, plus the separate First Nations jersey the team has worn a number of times in recent years. Last year Wallabies coach Dave Rennie said the group was keen for an Indigenous element to be incorporated permanently into the jersey.“This jersey holds significance to every member of our team and to have the First Nations artwork now on our primary jersey is something incredibly special,” Rennie said.“It was the players who had been advocating for the idea of a permanent First Nations addition and I’m pleased we’ve been able to come up with a solution.
Australia first wore their First Nations jersey in 2017 when they beat the All Blacks at Suncorp Stadium.
