The Rugby World Cup pays a visit to International Art Centre Tue, 26 Jul 2011
International Art Centre was an unexpected host to the Webb Ellis Cup for a short time this week - the trophy awarded to the winner of the Rugby World Cup! What a great privilege to have it in our gallery for a photo shoot.
The trophy stands 38cm tall, is gilded silver and is supported by two cast scroll handles. It has been held by four nations; New Zealand, Australia, England and current holders South Africa.
RWC 2011 kicks off 9 September in Auckland.
The Webb Ellis Cup was in Orewa most of today and heads to Whangarei as part of the RWC Roadshow tomorrow.
