Well the party is over for another four years and what a rollercoaster ride it was. Who would have thought Wales would be the team everyone was talking about and who would have thought France would make a game of the World Cup Final. I guess the end result was the right one but I still think Wales v New Zealand would have been a great final. Congratulations to our old friends, Graham and Raewyn Henry – I know how hard they have worked – it must be such a relief at last for the best rugby team in the World to be World Champions again.
On the Grogg front as promised and in time honoured fashion we will, of course, be making a special Limited Edition of ‘Captain Fantastic’ Richie McCaw holding aloft the Webb Ellis Trophy. This will be limited to only 301 pieces, reflecting the total points tally of the All Blacks in their campaign 2011. This figure however will not be available before Christmas but orders can be taken and reservations made. We will also be adding the World Cup to the Kiwi Mascot as a tribute. I am currently finishing the Nigel Owens figure which will be the last new Grogg made in time for Christmas, not forgetting George North has been moulded and should be available soon in limited numbers.
Obviously with Christmas upon us here I would urge people as usual to order early and to please be patient, our small team will do it’s best to accommodate your needs!
Once again a big Congratulations to New Zealand – World Cup Champions 2011 and many thanks to Wales and our player of the tournament Sam Warburton for making the last 6 weeks such a bumpy but exhilarating ride!
Cheers for now,
Richard.
