Description:
This jersey represents the Ireland national rugby team during the 2002 season, a period when Ireland were rebuilding into a competitive Six Nations side in the early professional era. Competing in the 2002 Six Nations Championship and autumn internationals, Ireland were developing a strong core that would form the backbone of their mid‑2000s success.
Key players from this period included Brian O’Driscoll, already emerging as one of the world’s elite centres, and Ronan O’Gara, who was establishing himself as Ireland’s first‑choice fly‑half. Jerseys from the 2002 era reflect an important transitional stage for Irish rugby, just before the team became consistent Triple Crown contenders later in the decade.
