The Melbourne Rebels have today announced a very special online auction to support Rural Aid and their ongoing efforts to support regional communities affected by the recent bushfire crisis.

On Friday 14 February 2020 the Melbourne Rebels celebrated the start of our 10th year in Super Rugby with a one-off replica of our first ever jersey with one key difference, the names of approximately 1850 Foundation Members – who have been with us since day one – across the front and back panels of the jersey.

That night saw a 24 – 10 win over the NSW Waratahs at a wet and wild AAMI Park.

The 23 jerseys worn that night have been laundered and signed by the player that wore it, and are now up to be purchased via All Bids at: https://www.allbids.com.au/c/charity-community-auctions/melbourne-rebels-rugby-union   

Other than these 23 match-worn jerseys, there are only 350 replica jerseys available for Foundation Members to purchase which have all sold out.

The online auction will be open until 10pm on Saturday 7 March, approximately 1 hour after the conclusion of the Rebels round six match against the Lions at AAMI Park.
