All Blacks fans could be in the red as kit costs bite

IT ALL adds up, and even notoriously tight All Blacks fans are going to have to pony up next month.

New Zealand fans who want to watch the World Cup in the latest replica gear will spend almost $500 (€289) to be fully kitted out but despite looking the picture of patriotism, none of the gear emblazoned with the silver fern is made in New Zealand.

Adidas has been facing a storm of criticism after it was revealed its All Blacks jerseys were being sold to supporters buying from overseas websites for about half the New Zealand retail price.
