Rugby World Cup 2019 | World Rugby Centurions Trophy

SculptureJill Berelowitz

Tense and emotional semi-finals of the Rugby World Cup 2019. Delighted to have made my artistic contribution by creating the trophy for World Rugby Centurions - all players have 100 caps for their countries.

The trophy was cast in bronze and all the Centurions names were engraved on the bronze plaque. The rugby ball was based on an original leather rugby ball and the cap with tassel is a traditional style rugby cap presented for each country appearance.

It takes an international rugby player around 10 years to achieve Rugby Centurion status. Throughout this decade of commitment and determination, these warriors inspire generations of rugby fans across the globe. My total respect for these rugby giants of the world.
