The 2011 Rugby World Cup saw the Springboks drawn in a tough Pool D alongside Wales, Fiji, Samoa, and Namibia. South Africa topped the pool with four strong wins - including a tense 17–16 victory over Wales in Wellington. In the quarterfinal, they faced Australia in a bruising battle in Wellington, narrowly losing 11–9 in one of the most hotly contested matches of the tournament.
This signed jersey captures the spirit, strength, and pride of a champion side - featuring many of South Africa’s greatest players of the professional era. This authentic 2011 Rugby World Cup South Africa jersey is autographed by the full Springbok squad that represented the nation in New Zealand — a team packed with legends who proudly defended the title they won in 2007.
