A 100% New Zealand > designed and made doggy rugby jersey is now available to keep your best > friend warm during the AB's route to victory and beyond.

> > The Marincas family, owners of a vet practice on Waiheke Island, are behind > the doggy jerseys. 'We thought it was a great way to show support for our > team and keep our own dog, Berty Boo, warm at the same time' says Linda.

> > The Marincas are planning to use any profits from the sales of Doggy Rugby > Jerseys to support their wildlife care on Waiheke Island. They take in any > animals and birds in need of medical attention and regularly find themselves > with a menagerie of Waiheke furry and feathered friends in their surgery.

> 'The cost of care for these animals is high, but we will not let an animal > suffer, or put them down unnecessarily. Selling a few jerseys will help pay > for their care' explains Linda.

> > And if the mighty All Blacks are not your team of choice, Doggy Rugby > Jerseys are available for supporters of England, Scotland, South Africa, > Australia, Ireland and France. But let's face it, we all look better in > black!

> > Requests for the jerseys have come in from as far afield as
Ireland and > Hong Kong and the Marincas's daughter, Andrada, has even sent one to her > favourite American dog, President Obama’s dog Bo at the White House.

> > Made of 100% jersey knit cotton, the rugby jerseys come in eight sizes to > accommodate every doggy from Yorkshire Terrier to Giant Schnauzer. So > whether you’re dressing the canine equivalent of Ali Williams or Jimmy > Cowan, there’s a size to fit.
