The All Blacks have unveiled their kits for this year's Rugby World Cup with the fern woven in to the iconic black jersey by a Japanese designer in a clash of cultures.

The jersey was launched this morning in Auckland after being leaked by an Australian retail outlet last week, featuring ferns and koru in the top.

The new uniform was designed by Y‑3, the collaboration label between apparel sponsor Adidas and Japanese designer Yohji Yamamoto.
