The electronics brand has a history of creating large screens, which dates back to the amazing spectacle of the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles. Endearing images from that event were captured on the big screens and will be embedded in the minds of many for years. The company produced two monstrous screens of 110 square metres – an envious television size – for the Kiwi stadium. Each super screen is 12.8 x 8.6 metres, making these megascreen teles the largest in New Zealand. They are even bigger than the screens at the Melbourne Cricket Ground and are the second largest in the Southern Hemisphere. The screens are also (thankfully) 200 times brighter than the average TV set. The technology behind these massive structures incorporates 1,080 panels, each of which is made up of clusters of LEDs representing single pixels. Over each entire screen are 1.5 million individual LEDs, which will provide brilliant clarity for an All Black victory during the final match at RWC. THAT CUP Passionate followers of the oval ball game will know the history of the Ellis Cup by now, Rugby’s ultimate world trophy. The cup was named after an Anglican clergyman, William Webb Ellis, who allegedly invented the game while he was a student at Rugby School in England. That was in 1823 and although the whole “picking up the ball and running with it” has long since been disproved, old Bill still gets his name on one of the world’s most celebrated trophies. Ellis died in 1872, in the town of Menton on the French Riviera where he spent the last six months of his life trying to recover from TB. As for the coveted cup, New Zealanders will get many opportunities to get up close and personal. Throughout July, it is part of the RWC 2011 Roadshow, travelling the length and breadth of the country. The cup is silver gilded in gold, 38 centimetres tall with two cast scroll handles. On one is the head of a satyr, a mythological deity of the forests and mountains, which is half-human and half-beast. The other handle has the head of a nymph, representing the beautiful spirit of nature – a guardian against the horny goat-man. The other carvings are of a bearded mask, a lion mask and a vine. The trophy was fashioned in 1906 and kept in a vault at Garrard’s workshop in London, where it was based. It’s a Victorian version of a cup fashioned in 1740 by the gold and silversmith, Paul de Lamerie, who lived during the 17th century. Garrard’s is a prestigious jewellers founded in 1735 by George Wickes. It is the world’s oldest jewellers and has held the title of Crown Jeweller for over 160 years. They were responsible for producing Princess Diana and now Kate Middleton’s engagement ring, they’ve created several royal crowns since Queen Victoria’s rule and they also made the Royal Yacht Squadron’s Cup in 1848, a trophy which is better known to us as the America’s Cup. So if you get a chance to paw over the magnificent rugby trophy you’re probably sharing over 100 years of illustrious DNA. HISTORIC STARTERS As the first game of the tournament kicks off, it will have used two of the most significant possessions outside of the trophy itself – the whistle and the coin. The whistle’s working life dates back to the rugby test in 1905 when The Originals, who later became known as The All Blacks, played Great Britain. That tour was a major success for the New Zealand side, which saw them scoring 976 points and conceding only 59. The whistle was originally used by Welsh referee, Gil Evans who later presented it to another “boy-o” referee, Albert Freethy, who blew it in the rugby final at the 1924 Olympic Games in Paris. After the 1905 match, the whistle continued its historic journey, working at the test between the Springboks in 1906 and the Wallabies in 1908. The coin has been linked to the 1924–25 Tour of England. A Kiwi supporter generously lent an New Zealand florin (a 20 cent coin) for the toss, as neither captain had one. The coin’s owner, Hector Gray later had it embossed with a rose on one side and a fern on the other. Both items will be lent by the New Zealand Rugby Museum in Palmerston North, marking a tradition started at the first World Cup in 1987 by Australian referee, Bob Fordham and carried on by Jim Fleming of Scotland in 1991, Derek Bevan of Wales in 1995, and Paddy O’Brien and Paul Honiss from New Zealand in 1999 and 2003 respectively.
