Apparently the RFU have instructed Doncaster to wear their change strip because of a clash with Amptill?  Shouldn't it be the away team who changes.
Just found out it's because both Amtill strips are toouch of a clash with Donny's home strip.

I thought the home team changes, think of it as your main and change kit. the home team has access to all their kit, and the expectation is the travelling team would bring 1 kit, their main kit, then in the event of a clash the home team have the ability to change, hence you would typically see the home team in their change kit. That's how I think it works/should work, but I am sure others more in the know will correct me if I am wrong!

Obviously, as you added, there can be some teams where both kits clash, then there needs to be some further planning to mitigate that!

Regulation 13.6.3i.e. It is the responsibility of the AWAY team (NOT THE HOME TEAM) to change shirts if there is a clash of colours.

Obviously clubs ought to have enough nous to ensure that their 'home' and 'away' kits are completely different though.
