A rare piece of All Blacks history is now up for auction, and it’s all for a cause close to home.
Thanks to the generosity of Murray O’Hara and Wanganui Motors, a 1996 All Blacks “Incomparables” signed jersey is currently listed on Trade Me, with 100% of proceeds going to Hospice Whanganui.
This isn’t just memorabilia. It’s a moment in time.
A Team That Made History
The 1996 All Blacks – famously known as “The Incomparables” – made history as the first New Zealand team to win a test series in South Africa.
Led by Sean Fitzpatrick and featuring legends like Jonah Lomu and Zinzan Brooke, this squad holds a special place in rugby history, both here in Aotearoa and around the world.
The jersey now up for auction has been signed by members of that iconic team and professionally framed, making it a standout piece for collectors and rugby fans alike.
A Gift to Our Community
This opportunity has come about through the generosity of Murray O’Hara, who has offered the jersey as a fundraising initiative for Hospice Whanganui.
It’s a powerful example of local businesses backing their community, turning something special into meaningful support for others.
Why It Matters
Hospice Whanganui provides specialist palliative care for patients and whānau across our region – supporting people to live well, with dignity and choice, right to the end of life.
Much of this care happens in people’s homes, surrounded by those they love.
Every dollar raised through this auction will help ensure that care continues to be available when it’s needed most.
