Slick branding poor choice for All Blacks
Green MP Teanau Tuiono says it’s not a good look the All Blacks are becoming the Oil Blacks.
New Zealand Rugby has inked a sponsorship deal with UK petrochemical giant INEOS, one of the world’s biggest producers of single use plastics and a major player in the UK oil and gas industry.
"They've gone from the All Blacks to the Oil Blacks and I'm also mindful that in the All Blacks we have always has a strong connection to the Pacific and island communities in the Pacific are on the front line of climate change, so not a good choice," Mr Tuiono says.
