Rugby legend ignites trophy craze

Rugby legend and Land Rover Ambassador Lawrence Dallaglio takes the Rugby World Cup trophy, the Webb Ellis Cup, on a tour of Hong Kong and Shanghai December 9, 2014, Tuesday. The Rugby World Cup winner with England in 2003 said; "Being reunited with the Webb Ellis Cup never fails to bring back some amazing memories and it makes the experience even more pertinent when you get to share that with others. Today we visited some of the iconic sights in Hong Kong as well as King George V School, where, if the skills of the local children were anything to go by, the future of Hong Kong rugby is in safe hands! This region may be developing in Rugby terms but it doesn't stop the people being hugely passionate for the game and hopefully giving them the chance to see this prestigious Trophy will inspire them to continue on their Rugby journey as the sport grows in the area."
