I'm named after William Webb Ellis, who was named by the RFU as the inventor of Rugby football. I'm silver gilded in gold and has been presented to the winner of the world cup since the first competition in 1987. I have been held by New Zealand, Australia, South Africa and England.I'm just 38 centimetres tall and I am supported by two cast scroll handles. On one handle there is a head of a satyr, on the other there is head of a nymph. My face of has the words "International Rugby Football Board" and below that arch "The Webb Ellis Cup" are engraved.At the momenet they have me locked up at the Rugby Museum in London - but next year is my big year! I'm off to France for the Rugby World Cup.
