Nike – classic shirt, a collar and stylish. Sponsor logo subtle silver.
Umbro – it’s a £70 T-shirt with incongruous bright blue sponsor logo. And what is that rose design? pic.twitter.com/8eTqAlc7G4

England will open the defence of their Six Nations at home to Scotland in what should be cracking tie, who will forget the last time they played at Twickenham, the game ended in a high scoring draw with Scotland fighting back led by inspirational out half Finn Russell. All these games will take place behind closed doors in this years Six Nations due to the ongoing Covid crisis happening across Europe, but we can wait for the ‘best rugby championship’ to get going.
