Official Reebok Wales home rugby shirt from the 2006/07 international season.

This is Reebok's 'pro-fit' version of the jersey, designed to play rugby in. It features a more flexible & durable material mix (compared to the 'traditional' version, designed for supporters).

The condition of this original rugby jersey is 8/10 - Excellent. A couple of small faint dot marks on the side of the chest (see photos).

Mike Ruddock resigned as the head coach of Wales mid-way through the 2006 Six Nations, where Wales finished fifth, and Gareth Jenkins was eventually appointed as his replacement. Jenkins led Wales through the 2007 World Cup, where they failed to advance beyond the pool stage following a loss to Fiji. Jenkins subsequently lost his job, and Warren Gatland, a New Zealander, was appointed as his successor.

Wales faced England at Twickenham for Gatland's inaugural match as coach and their first match of the 2008 Six Nations. They had not defeated England there since 1988, and went on to win 26–19. They eventually won all their Championship matches, conceding only two tries in the process, to claim another Grand Slam. Later that year Wales defeated Australia 21–18 in Cardiff, but then started a six-year, twenty-three-game win-less streak against the southern hemisphere nations of Australia, New Zealand and South Africa.
