My wife gave me the print as a present but as we have moved to a smaller home we do not have enough wall space. This limited edition print is a must-have for any rugby aficionado, collector or enthusiast.

As stated the item is in excellent condition making it perfect to go up on your wall. I recycle all packaging from parcels sent to me by Amazon etc.
