This 1998 Nelson Bays players rugby jersey is a genuine piece of New Zealand provincial rugby history, worn by Anthony Holder during the late-90s era. Made by Canterbury (CCC), it features the classic deep blue base with the iconic Nelson Bays crest and GoldenEdge sponsor across the chest.

As this jersey does not feature an NPC sleeve patch, it would not have been used during official NPC matches, instead aligning with training, trial, or non-competition appearances — a detail that adds authenticity and insight for collectors familiar with New Zealand provincial setups of the time.

Nelson Bays were a proud and iconic provincial side before later merging into what is now Tasman, making jerseys from this era increasingly difficult to find. Condition is excellent, with colours still bright and vibrant and no wash fade evident. The player name HOLDER and number 14 remain bold and intact on the reverse.

Tagged a Large, it comfortably fits up to an XL, offering a relaxed, classic Canterbury player fit. A superb piece of late-90s New Zealand rugby history — ideal for collectors of provincial, player-issued, or Canterbury jerseys.
