From the outstanding wins and heartbreaking defeats, to one of the biggest upsets in Rugby World Cup history, the Rugby World Cup 2015 Tournament will be remembered the world over.
As Worldwide Partners of Rugby World Cup 2015, Land Rover brought local stories to the fore, celebrating the clubs and their fans, the passion and camaraderie at the heart of the sport. #WeDealInReal.
Taking on the mantra that rugby is built from the ground up, and that the grassroots are the core of the game, Land Rover have produced the following film to celebrate the outstanding contribution made by the fans towards making RWC2015 a success:
Land Rover's journey began at Farnborough Rugby Club, where they invited legends Jonny Wilkinson and Bryan Habana to help out and included recruiting mascots for World Cup matches, floating a giant rugby ball along the Thames and revealing a specially designed Land Rover Defender which took the Webb Ellis Cup on a 100-day journey around the country ahead of the opening ceremony.
With the help of rugby legends, ambassadors and clubs, 96 lucky youngsters were selected as mascots from the thousands of 7-13-year-olds that applied.
Land Rover also created two large sculptures which were exhibited outside the Millennium Stadium and Twickenham and acted as meeting points for fans on matchdays.
Named 'The Catch' the eight-metre high sculptures were a collaboration between Land Rover and Italian artist Nino Mustica.
As Official Vehicle Partner for the tournament Land Rover delivered a fleet of 450 vehicles to support the Rugby World Cup 2015. A mixed fleet of specially liveried Discovery Sport, Discovery, Range Rover Sport and Range Rover models transported match officials, event support staff and VIPs.
Mark Cameron, Global Brand Experience Director at Jaguar Land Rover, said: "The Rugby World Cup 2015 has been a remarkable tournament which has captured the imagination of fans from around the world.
"We have seen the world’s best teams and players take battle on the pitch demonstrating their incredible spirit and passion for the game.
"This film encapsulates the emotion and drama of the tournament through the eyes of the fans and we at Land Rover hope it inspires old and young to go back to their grassroots and into the beloved game of rugby."
