# Rugby: The Springboks and the All Blacks have rejected World Rugby’s request for more contrasting kits in tomorrow’s expected blockbuster match in Auckland, opting to play in their traditional colours. This is seen as respect for a long-standing tradition, with the Boks playing in their iconic Green and Gold, and the hosts donning their trademark black kit. Neither team have deviated from this over the last 104 years of rivalry, which could be threatened by the governing body’s kit policy to make it easier for colour-blind spectators.
