Not since Scott Gibbs crashed over at Wembley has there been such an important try against the old enemy. The ground on which Shane Williams touched down on, this historical piece of turf has been encapsulated in a series of limited edition paperweights which we have made available to the people of Wales.   So how did we get this turf ? The pitch cut up badly during the game and the Millennium Stadium and Welsh Rugby Union decided a new pitch was needed. To do this the whole pitch needed to be removed and re-laid. The Gavin Henson Winning Kick piece of turf and the area on which Shane Williams touched down were pinpointed by stadium staff and removed from the main pitch on Tuesday 15th of February. The rest of the pitch was then cut up and part of it was sold to raise money for the TLC Foundation. The Gavin Henson & Shane Williams pieces were then offered for auction by the WRU, we were successful in this auction and once again the money was donated to charity. We collected these pieces from Shane Williams, Brent Cockbain and stadium manager Paul Seargant on the Wednesday before the Scotland match. The sections of turf have been cut into smaller manageable pieces and encapsulated by Hafod Grange Paperweights so that the turf maintains it's actual look from that magic moment. Each piece of turf is now a series of limited edition specially inscribed Grand Slam Paperweights, the Gavin Henson piece is limited to 153 and the Shane Williams 150. Both paperweights are sold in a presentation box together with an 8 page limited edition certificate of authenticity and a card personally signed by Wales Grand Slam Second Row Forward Brent Cockbain. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE SALE IS FOR THE SHANE WILLIAMS PAPERWEIGHT AND DOES NOT INCLUDE THE GAVIN HENSON PAPERWEIGHT. IT IS FOR A SHANE WILLIAMS - THE TRY - MAGIC MOMENTS TURF PAPERWEIGHT IN A BOX TOGETHER WITH A CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY AND A CARD SIGNED BY BRENT COCKBAIN. * The Millennium Stadium turf was originally sold to raise money for the Toby Lloyd Cockbain Foundation. Toby was the son of Wales lock forward Brent Cockbain who tragically died of a brain tumour. The money that Rugby Relics paid for the turf was also donated by the WRU to this charity.
