Step back to the glory days with this 1998 Ireland long sleeve jersey made by Nike. Crafted from 100% heavy-duty cotton, this classic weighs in at 650 grams — nearly three times heavier than today’s modern kits. A true throwback, it features a clean, sponsor-free design that many traditionalists still prefer. In excellent condition for its age, with no major flaws. A must-have piece for collectors or fans of old-school rugby heritage.
