For what is reputed to be for the first time, a South African national rugby team is wearing kit that has been 100% produced in South Africa with the new Canterbury Springbok Sevens Rugby jersey. The jersey is made of a very light, quick-drying fabric, to minimise sweating and enable the team to perform at its best.

The design is a striking departure from the jersey that the Springboks wore in winning the IRB Sevens Series at the beginning of 2009. Replica jerseys can be purchased from the Canterbury Concept Stores and other select retailers. To locate a stockist, call +27 (21) 380 6399.

Commenting on the new jersey, Cuan Chelin, the Super-Brands chief executive, said: “Canterbury is proud that the Springbok Sevens team are defending their IRB World Sevens Series title in this dynamic new jersey. Cutting-edge design has been fused with advanced technology and all in South Africa.”
