To support its A Ball 4 All program, the United States Rugby Football Foundation is auctioning off a 2011 Rugby World Cup All Blacks jersey signed by the new World Cup champions.
It had been 24 years since a New Zealand All Blacks captain lifted the Webb Ellis Cup in triumph. This past Sunday night, All Blacks captain Richie McCaw joined 1987 All Blacks captain David Kirk as a victorious New Zealand skipper. Here's your chance of keeping the memory of the All Blacks 2011 World Cup conquest alive by being the high bidder for this very unique piece of rugby history.
Not only will the high bidder receive a rugby memory that will last a lifetime but he or she will receive the satisfaction of knowing that every cent from their winning bid will go towards the US Rugby Foundation's A Ball 4 All program. The goal of the A Ball 4 All program is to provide 50,000 youth and high school players in the US with their very own rugby ball in 2012.
Photos of the jersey and more information about New Zealand's run for the title at the 2011 Rugby World Cup can be found on eBay, item #180745531321. The bidding will conclude at 10:00 a.m. (PDT) on Wednesday, November 2, 2011.
