why dont they be imaginative and put a V-Bee ad on their shirt, even going as far as putting a picture of a Bee on there...people would read and speak it the same as the VB brand anyway.

Similar to the way Jordan got round the tobacco add laws when he was in F1 with Buzzin Hornets and suchlike.

Didn't the Aussies play with one sponsor blacked out not all that long ago due to it confliciting with some other sponsor?

As though Victoria Bitter will be distraught by a lack of exposure in France?

I don't think it is sold in France anyway...

Pathetic!

"We have a contract with VB which we take very seriously and have every intention of honouring."

First of all it really ought to be a non issue but nothing seems to stop the Ausies from generating negative press.

Who the hell negotiated the deal with a brewery and did'nt forsee the possible issue of playing in France.

Finaly its seems from the above quote that the Ausies take their beer sponsorship rather more seriously than they do the game itself.

Exactly. I know there will be a potential TV audience in Australia, but surely C9 or Fox (whoever has the rights) can run VB ads at every scrum, as per every weekly NRL game?

Think it was Phillips that was blocked out, conflicted with gillette

It was the other way round - Aus team would not display the Gillette logo on their shirts because of the Phillip's clash.

A bigger threat to the 4 nations is the lack of an overall sponsor, as Gillette have pulled out. Not easy to get a non fags/booze/gambling sponsor in the current climate.
