HERE’S THE NEWEST addition to the new Ravenhill Stadium, a sculpture depicting 16 figures from all grades in rugby working together to achieve a goal.
The abstract piece was created by Sara Cunningham-Bell and is made from high strength low alloy and stainless steel.
The ball at the top of the five-metre tall line-out depiction is made from mirror-finished steel and will reflect the light from LEDs embedded in the ground.
The above line-out is merely the centrepiece of the sculptures which span 90 metres behind the Premium Stand on the east side of the rebranded Kingspan Stadium.
“The new sculpture is absolutely magnificent and incorporates all the values that Ulster Rugby holds dear – namely inclusivity, teamwork and sporting excellence,” says John Kinnear, president of the IRFU Ulster branch.
“I have no doubt that this sculpture will be enjoyed by generations of Ulster Rugby fans to come and it is another fantastic addition to our already world-class stadium.”
A statement released after the artwork was unveiled this afternoon encourage supporters to get up close and personal with the sculptures. So, selfie away, Ulster and Leinster fans.
