Club to Welcome Webb Ellis Cup

Members will be able to view rugby union's Webb Ellis Cup up close when the trophy visits the Club on July 24.

As part of its 100-day Japan tour ahead of the start of the Rugby World Cup in Japan on September 20, the cup will be on display in the first-floor Family Lobby from 7pm to 9pm.

Named after William Webb Ellis, the purported schoolboy inventor of the sport, the trophy has been presented to the winner of the World Cup since the first tournament in 1987. 

The winning team of this year's competition will lift the cup on November 2 in Yokohama.
