“The Foundation is appreciative and thankful of Scott’s continued generosity,” said USRFF Executive Director Brian Vizard. “This is truly a unique piece of rugby art that would look great on anyone’s wall at home or office. The poster itself would have been enough but the signatures of the Tri Nations champions make it a real collector’s item.”
