Gareth Edwards' famous Barbarians jersey sells for £240,000 to set new world record

The Barbarians jersey Sir Gareth Edwards wore scoring THAT epic try against the All Blacks in Cardiff in 1973 has sold for a world record £240,000 at auction.

Dubbed “The Greatest Jersey”, it was the prize item up for sale as Edwards’ personal collection went under the hammer.

It was expected to go for between £150,000 and £200,000, but that estimate was surpassed, beating the previous record of £180,000 for All Black Dave Gallaher’s jersey sold for £180,000 for 2015.
