This from Rugby 24 ...... . There was confusion once again over the heavily-marketed Super Hero jerseys. When the match kicked off, the Lions were clad in their 'Spiderman'-themed strips while the Stormers were wearing their 'Thor' jerseys. However, it was immediately noticeable that there would be problems. Television footage - and those watching live at the stadium - found it difficult to differentiate between the sides and after the opening half the Stormers asked to change into the black strips they wore against the Bulls in Pretoria last weekend. "Some of our players couldn't see (the difference), so we asked the referee (Egon Seconds) if we could swap because we couldn't see who was who," Stormers captain Siya Kolisi said after the match. ......... You really have to ask why the players had to take the field before it was obvious there was a problem. How stupid are these SARU guys really!

That is what I thought when I started watching the match. Even as a spectator it was confusing, and actually frustrating. 

Most of the Marvel Super Hero's wear red, so it makes sense to only choose only one red superhero. 

Given the standard so far in the local derbies, it has been even more embarrassing that they are even playing in superhero jerseys. 

The most annoying avengers are currently dead, but presumably, they will return in the next match off with Thanos.
