Is that a trick of the camera or are they seriously wearing all white to a burglary?

Night vision camera does that

Lol okay. I thought it had to be something like that.

Night vision cctv camera are weird, I've had white shirts go dark on mine, I use mine to judge the shirts I want to wear outside, the ones that don't light up the area around me are my going out clothes.

Suspect camera trickery. Guy on left lighter jeans, right darker jeans? In low light vision colours are exaggerated

The respectful nod is awesome. But judging by the base of the trophy, it definitely looks like a replica. I think the actual web Ellis as well as the "official" replicas the team gets to keep are pretty well locked up

I don't think that it has anything to do with honor. If there is a good way to get yourself killed in SA, it's probably messing with SA Rugby honors. They do not take that as a joke.
