The giant rugby ball in Sydney's Circular Quay
A 25m long, 13m high rugby ball has landed in Sydney’s Circular Quay to promote the 2011 Rugby World Cup in New Zealand being just a year away.
The ball, inside of which features a 360° audio-visual show plus cultural performances, will remain by the Opera House until the end of this week, in an attempt to encourage Aussies to make the trip across the Tasman next year.
