**** The All Blacks untidy appearance gets a mention in this years 79th edition of the Rugby Almanack (2013) ***** The Rugby Almanack is the worlds longest running rugby book of record, and has been published uninterrupted since 1935 (apart from two combined issues during World War II): The editors [of the 2013 Rugby Almanack] gave the All Blacks a dressing down on one front ... Last November at Twickenham, the most traditional stadium in the rugby world, we saw both the All Blacks and, later, the Black Ferns line up in front of the stands for the anthems. Most had their socks up, but some had their socks around their ankles, they noted. The All Blacks are one of the most admired and respected sporting teams in the world, even by members of the Royal family, but untidy appearances during the anthems is puzzling for many New Zealanders. Correctness on how the uniform is presented and worn has always been a part of team discipline and it is concerning to see an increasing number of players running on to the field with socks down. We look forward to seeing an improvement in presentation during 2013. ***** Is this how we want to be represented on the world stage? Lets get these boys to pull their socks up!!
