[QUOTE="havingaball2011, post: 340892, member: 42312"] [URL="http://havingaball2011.com/?p=793"]RWC always begins with an antique whistle and coins – I never knew that![/URL] Apparently every Rugby World Cup has had the first match started using these antiques, and they are kept right here in NZ at the Manawatu Rugby Museum. [URL="http://bit.ly/coNVhf"]http://bit.ly/coNVhf[/URL] Why… The referee’s role is critical, it’s a great opportunity for them to be part of history and tradition. The whistle and coin help authenticate the RWC tournament. The mana and importance of these items grows year by year. It’s great publicity for the museum too! One downside of the whistle and coin is they don’t have “namesâ€.They are called “The Whistle†and â€The Coinâ€. [/QUOTE]
