The Giant Rugby Ball
It is being described as a marketing coup. A giant inflatable rugby ball will take centre stage next to France's great icon, the Eiffel Tower during the 2007 Rugby World Cup. Branded with "100% PURE New Zealand", the giant ball is part of an initiative to promote New Zealand for the 2011 Rugby World Cup. Members of the public will be able to get inside the 17 metre high and 25 metre long ball, and once inside will be transported to New Zealand through multi media images and sound.
