Giant rugby ball hits Sydney

As though the All Blacks have not dominated enough in the Tri Nations this year, tourism New Zealand has now invaded Australia shores with their giant rugby ball to rest among Sydney's famous landmarks.

Designed to raise awareness for next year's Rugby World Cup in New Zealand, the giant rugby ball measures 25 metres long, 17 metres wide and 13 metres high.

Visitors inside can witness a 10-minute, 360-degree audiovisual show depicting a variety of New Zealand’s environments from the ocean, beaches, volcanoes and bush walks, to the sidelines of rugby games.
