Stu Forster: a black New Zealand All Blacks No.9 shirt from the match v England at Twickenham 27th November 1993, short-sleeved, inscribed to left-sleeve, NEW ZEALAND, TO ENGLAND - SCOTLAND, 1993 This shirt was gained by England's scrum-half Kyran Bracken from his opposition No.9 Stu Forster. Bracken was making his England international debut and the hosts won the match 15-9 to register their 4th all-time win over the All Blacks and the first for 10 years, by an identical scoreline coincidentally. England's other debutant on this day Jon Callard kicked four penalties. Kyran Bracken's debut is also remembered for his bravery in lasting the full 80 minutes despite suffering serious ankle ligament damage as early as the 2nd minute, the result of a Jamie Joseph stamp. Stu Forster represented Hawke's Bay and Otago at provincial level and the Otago Highlanders in Super Ruby. He was a member of the New Zealand All Blacks team between 1993 and 1995 making 12 appearances, including 6 internationals. In 2001 Forster made six appearances for Rotherham Titans in the English [Zurich] Premiership.
