World Rugby will bid to ban red and green kit clashes in international matches to help sufferers of colour blindness in time for the 2027 World Cup.
Rugby’s governing body is aiming to cut out kit clashes that would affect colour-blind players, officials and fans.
World Rugby has teamed up with Colour Blind Awareness to look at ways to reduce issues for those with the condition, including the global body’s chairman Bill Beaumont.
World Rugby’s plans mean that should Ireland play Wales at the 2027 World Cup, one team would have to wear a change kit.
