Official Cotton Traders England home long sleeved rugby shirt from the 1996/97 international season.
Although this jersey is essentially the same design template as the team wore in the previous 1995/96 season, this updated 1996/97 jersey featured the RFU's first shirt sponsorship deal (following the commencement of professionalism in Rugby Union).
The condition of this original rugby jersey is 8/10 - Excellent. Light wear. Some faint markings on the back of one sleeve, near the cuff (see photos).
In the lead up to the 1995 World Cup in South Africa, England completed another Grand Slam – their third in five years. In the World Cup, England defeated Argentina, Italy and Samoa in pool play and then defeated Australia 25–22 in their quarter-final.
England's semi-final was dominated by the All Blacks and featured four tries, now worth five points each, by Jonah Lomu; England lost 45–29. They then lost the third/fourth place play-off match against France.
