A Springboks training jersey from 1996–1997, notable for its blue colourway, which differs from the traditional green match kit. These training shirts were typically used in preparation sessions, warm-ups, and non-match environments. It is associated with the South Africa national rugby union team during the early post-1995 Rugby World Cup period, when South Africa was establishing itself in the newly professional international rugby landscape. Training gear from this era is especially distinctive because of experimental colour variants like blue, which were not used in official Test matches but are now sought-after collector items due to their rarity and unique design history.
