Jersey Auction Notice
Members of the public have the chance to own a special piece or pieces of rugby memorabilia while at the same time helping the development of the game in New South Wales.
Proceed to Auction
In an online first, the Waratahs will auction their actual Super 12 playing jerseys from the 2004 season to help raise funds to assist in the financing of the tour.
These are truly unique items and they absolutely cannot be bought anywhere else. The jerseys are laser-cut and individually sewn to suit the size and shape of the nominated player.
Made by the world's leading Rugby clothing company, Canterbury International, the jerseys are cutting edge technology.
Based on the hi-tech RWC design used by the Wallabies, the Waratah playing jersey fits each player tightly to reduce the chance of a tackler grabbing the fabric.
Each player in the 22 has signed their numbered jersey worn throughout the season.
Buy one to frame or even wear to the next Waratahs home game! Just remember, one size doesn't fit all.
The tour will start on October 14 when a squad of 30 players heads to Argentina for a four match programme against some of the toughest provincial teams in world Rugby.
Fans are also encouraged to buy in groups, say the back three, second row or the highly prized front row.
The auction will run for three weeks, so get your bids in soon for the chance to own a real piece of Waratah Rugby history.
And by doing so you'll be helping to develop the Super 12 players of tomorrow.
