Coronavirus ends Rugby season in England

My philatelic collection on rugby and other events and phenomenon relating to an oval ball.
A day after the All Blacks team came off the pitch having beaten Les Bleus 8-7, thus becomeing the 2011 Rugby World Cup Champion, NZ Post released a special souvenir stamp sheet to celebrate the victory. The sheet features the photo of the victorious team hoisting the Web Ellis Cup captioned by the final score of the game, and on each side of the photo are 3 All Black stamps.
NZ Post is releasing on 7 September 2011 a self-adhesive stamp featuring the Web Ellis Cup, the prize of the Rugby World Cup. This special issue will have the trophy in 3D, being produced using Motionstamp HDR 3D technology, making the cup stand out against the stylistic interpretation of the Mangopare (Hammerhead Shark) and the Koru (Fern Shoot) in the background.
