International Rugby World Cup Awards

The Brief

The International Rugby Board and Frontiers Group enlisted Fourth Wall Events to create a spectacular close to a memorable competition. The award event champions the star players over the Cup and is a black tie affair that is attended by the who’s who of international rugby.

The Approach

Working with Fox Sports and a live worldwide coverage meant all elements of the event had to be both pleasing to the home viewer and run to extremely tight network deadlines. Proving that size does matter, Fourth Wall Events designed a seamless forty metre panoramic screen; complete with moving footage which acted as a dramatic backdrop to the evenings proceedings. This enabled the grass design to be projected rather than physically laid out which meant the budget was adhered to.

After a long competition the teams finally relaxed, reflected and enjoyed a three course menu, seamlessly served in one and a half hours to the eight hundred guests, before the event went live around the world.

The Results

From a realistic recreation of a football field, to featured highlights of the cup and guest shots, the screen filled the room with a sense of energy and impact. This was perfectly delivered for the over two million viewers who enjoyed the show and the eight hundred guests in the room.
