A rare 1999 South Africa Springboks Rugby World Cup long sleeve jersey by Nike — a true heavyweight in every sense. Made from 100% cotton and tipping the scales at 680 grams, this is a throwback to the era when jerseys were built to last. The deep green body, gold collar, and embroidered Springbok crest capture the classic look worn during the ’99 tournament.

This example is in very good condition with no stains, holes, or major flaws — just the gentle wash fade you’d expect from a well-loved vintage cotton jersey. Tagged with Nike’s typically unusual late-90s sizing: at 54cm pit-to-pit it fits like a Medium, but the 84cm length gives it an XXL-style drop. A fantastic piece for collectors or fans of the old-school, heavy-duty rugby kit.
