Rugby enthusiasts will be forming long lines to obtain this Irish international shirt, which is autographed by every member of the team.
The official jersey was presented to national charity Debra by Dublin-based firm 123ink.ie following our devastating World Cup elimination at the hands of the All Blacks.
It provides assistance to the approximately 300 individuals and families with epidermolysis bullosa (EB), a rare and excruciatingly painful skin disorder that blisters the skin with the touch of a finger.
Living with EB and a friend of retiring Ireland skipper Johnny Sexton, Claudia Scanlon (19) pleaded with everyone to sponsor a raffle that will allow them to win the coveted top.
The student, who is from Dublin’s Terenure, has a hereditary disorder that is severe enough to cause 80 percent of her body to be covered with blisters.
“We’re thrilled to contribute to the immensely significant work that this charity undertakes,” stated Dave Doyle, Commercial Manager of 123ink.ie, a Dublin-based company with over 60 employees.
“We are delighted to assist a fantastic charity that is truly changing lives, and we have no doubt that Irish supporters will also support this endeavour.”
An IRFU-issued authenticity certificate is included with the jersey.
As their incredible World Cup trip draws to a close, Susan Woodcock of Debra stated, “We would like to thank 123ink.ie for its kind donation – and hopefully people will support the draw to get their hands on this very special piece of rugby memorabilia.”
