During my visit to Gloucester I could not help noticing the ball shaped mascots that were to be found in various places to celebrate the Rugby world cup.

Colour the World by Swarez

I 2018 while on a visit in Gloucester I spotted another of them, although whether it was part of the original promotion I cannot say.

Thanks to my high school I have no interest in rugby or I probably would have pursued the balance of the eggs,  I did have limited time on my day in the city though so realistically there was no priority in finding them, these pics I took when I saw them. Now that the world cup is over I have no idea what happened to them all, I don’t even know who won anyway!
