Need I say more? Okay... Only because you asked nicely.

Thanks to Gow Langsford Gallery, Dick Frizzell has teamed up with the Rugby World Cup 2011, to create the most amazing artwork for a merchandise apparel range.

"They wanted me to locate Rugby World Cup 2011 both culturally and geographically in New Zealand and to give it that Kiwiana flavour," says Frizzell. "I just dived into the nostalgic history and applied all my own motifs to the culture of Rugby in New Zealand."

Ross Munro of Sportfolio - the official sportswear supplier for RWC 2011 - described Frizzell's artwork as "distinctive, imaginative and laid-back, in other words typically Kiwi." The apparel range is available online [HERE] and in participating stores across the country. Most importantly though, a limited edition of box-set prints are available to purchase. Honestly, if I had the money I would not miss out on the chance to buy such historical pieces of art. Wow!
