Rugby is about to hit the headlines again with the Autumn internationals including the ‘centenary test’ celebrating 100 years of the classic Wales v All Blacks fixture. Neath based firm Rugby Relics are celebrating this centenary with a special ‘signed’ Wales 1905 team print and if you fancy something special how about a jersey worn in the game. Memorabilia from the Wales 2005 Grand Slam is also available including paperweights containing the actual turf from which Gavin Henson scored the winning penalty goal against England.
