Great Britain - Rugby World Cup 2015 Presentation Pack
This richly illustrated Presentation Pack is an official Rugby World Cup 2015 item and therefore features the ‘Official Merchandise’ hologram. Written by renowned sports writer and journalist Richard Rae, one side focuses on facts, figures and stats from the history of the competition, while the other charts the origins of the Game. It also features a wealth of fascinating images, a history of the Tournament itself and authoritative definitions of the aspects of play depicted on the Special Stamps, which are of course included.
