Info
This New Zealand jersey was presented to Swansea RFC by 'All Blacks' Coach Steve Hansen and accepted on behalf of the club by Stan Addicott, President of the club, on 13th October 2015. The gift was in recognition of Swansea RFC's hospitality and discretion in allowing the 'All Blacks' to enjoy a night at the club before the quarter finals of the 2015 RWC commenced. Further thanks were expressed by the selection of the St Helen's Lounge as the location for the New Zealand rugby press conference two days later, to which the world's rugby press were invited. The 'All Blacks' players were shown around the club and viewed the many items of memorabilia from a long association between Swansea RFC and New Zealand rugby.
