Dan Carter auctioning one of his prized All Blacks Test jerseys for first time

A rare piece of rugby memorabilia is up for grabs.

Former All Black Dan Carter is for the first time auctioning a test jersey to raise money for his local rugby club in New Zealand.

Like other sports clubs, Southbridge just out of Christchurch, has been badly hit financially over the past few months.

It prompted Carter to part with his 70th Test jersey from the 2010 Eden Park match between the All Blacks and the Springboks to try and get Southbridge back on its feet.

The jersey, embroidered with Carter’s name, is on sale on TradeMe and it is already sitting on $21,000.
