“It’s definitely awesome for people to see and take pictures with,” he said of the Webb Ellis Cup, which will be presented on Nov. 2 to the Rugby World Cup champion in Yokohama. “It would be awesome to see a tournament here .”“The camaraderie as well. The teamwork,” Will Ainscough, one of Kinnear’s teammates, added.“I’ve seen it, but never touched it,” he said of the trophy.
“The advent of the first tournament in ’87, it gave us a focal point, it gave us one guaranteed time every four years where we’re going to be tested against the very best,” Rees said. “That side of it has been hugely influential .” That’s in the hands of private enterprise, Rees noted. Rugby Canada would certainly look to support a project that mimicked how the privately-financed and operated Arrows were built.
