The Rugby Post: "Discount Rugby Gear" Christchurch Shopping Tip by ATXtraveler

Obviously, as a rugby fan, I was as close as possible to Mecca when it comes to my sport. Canterbury, New Zealand would be done a disservice if you said they were merely fans. Rugby is definitely the national past time, and therefore you will find many different places around town that sell rugby souvenirs. Some of the high priced Tax-Free shops get a large tourist demand, and the specialty shops like Canterbury of New Zealand also get a good amount of traffic. I however found a great little rugby shop just off Cathedral Square with much better pricing on their jerseys and whatnot.

What to buy: I chose to buy an Otago Rugby jersey, which was last season's official uniform for about 60% off the price of the current jersey. What a steal! Most jerseys go for 150 NZD, and I got mine for about 45.

What to pay: 45-150NZD per jersey.
