Out There in Wellington: Rugby World Cup Sculptures.

 I came across the following to Sculptures after exploring areas of Wellington that i have not seen for a while.

 It highlights what the Capital has to offer that sometimes can be missed by people going through their everyday life or the tourist that spends only a short time in Wellington, but does not get the chance to explore what this great city has to offer.

 The 1st one is located by Rugby NZ Office’s in the Centre Port Area. It can be reached on foot by walking from town following the route used by the cruise line passengers.
 It is about 5 minutes from the new BNZ Building and is located by the footbridge that heads over the road to the main WestPac Stadium Walkway.

 It was designed by Cipre Stephane a French Sculpture. The theme is of 2 rugby players who are against the wall of words that depict what rugby (and sport is against).

 The words are
Disrespect
Lack of Discipline
Selfishness
Drugs
Cheating
Racism
Individualism
 The second Sculpture is found in a small park near the City to Sea Bridge. It is located below the bridge on the Town Hall side of the Bridge.
 It was designed and built between Wellington City Council and Weta Workshop.
 It depicts the waves in the Cook Straits and the power of the Earthquake, with Wellington “caught between the Sea and Sky.
