Official Adidas New Zealand All Blacks home rugby shirt from the 2011 international season.

This is Adidas' superior 'climalite' version of the jersey, designed to play rugby in. It features lightly textured grip assist panels on the shoulders, lower front and rear.

The condition of this original rugby jersey is 9/10 - Superb. Light wear to the size motif inside the collar & the small 'climalite' motif near the lower rear hem (see photos).

Despite losing the 2011 Tri-Nations after a loss to Australia in Brisbane, New Zealand still entered the 2011 Rugby World Cup as one of the favourites. The All Blacks went through their pool matches undefeated, and after defeating Argentina, and then Australia, faced France in the final. New Zealand scored one try and a penalty to narrowly win 8–7. Henry stepped down as coach following the World Cup, and was replaced as head coach by his assistant Steve Hansen.

The Tri-Nations was expanded to include Argentina in 2012, and subsequently renamed The Rugby Championship. The All Blacks went undefeated in the inaugural tournament, and went through the year unbeaten until their last match of the year, where they lost to England at Twickenham.
