The new Royal Mail First Day
Cover is dedicated to the Rugby World Cup 2015, which this year is held in
England. The eight stamp collection conveys the excitement and skill of rugby
union, according to the postal service. The images in this collection depict a
number of moves and setpieces, including a tackle, a scrum, a try and a
line-out. According to Andrew Hammond, who is the director of Royal Mail Stamps
and Collectibles, ‘these stamps portray a real sense of the gritty dynamism of
the game. It’s fitting we issue a set of stamps to celebrate rugby coming home
and at the same time show that stamps are great markers in time of major
international events such as Rugby World Cup 2015.’
