The William Ellis trophy

Chris Jack came with the William Ellis cup to visit Hampden st school. william Ellis is the person who invented Rugby. Chris Jack was 9 when New Zealand won the first ever rugby world cup.We weren't allowed to touch the cup and if we did then one of the guys who is looking after it would have to clean it all night. One of the men had to fly up to Auckland just to get the cup because it wasn't allowed to travel by itself. On the way to Nelson the cup had to have it's own seat with a seatbelt in a case.We got a photo with Chris Jack and one with the cup.
