Official Canterbury Australian Wallabies home long sleeved rugby shirt from the 1991 international match against England season. This jersey was worn by the former New South Wales player, Nick Farr-Jones. The jersey was given to the former president of New Zealand rugby.

The match was played on 27th July at Sydney Football Stadium. An original match day program is also included. It shows the inclusion of Nick Farr-Jones starting as scrum-half, in the Australian line up. The match ended 40-15, the Wallabies defeating England ahead of the 1991 Rugby World Cup, which began a few months later.

The condition of this original rugby jersey is 7/10 - Good. Fading to the colour on the front of the jersey (it was previously displayed in a frame).A few tiny holes on the end of the cuffs, on the upper rear shoulders, and near the lower hem (again, where the jersey was previously framed). A small area on the lower front where a plaque was previously positioned). Wear to the #9 on the rear (see photos).

In 1990, after Australia lost the first two matches of the Bledisloe series, there was speculation that Farr-Jones might lose the captaincy. However, the team won the final test 21–9 in Wellington. The 1991 Bledisloe series ended in a tie, and Australia entered the Rugby World Cup with momentum. Farr-Jones dealt with a knee injury during the tournament, sitting out the pool match against Samoa and being substituted during the quarter-final. He returned for the semi-final against New Zealand and led the team to victory in the final.
