The pitch at Twickenham Stadium has been transformed into a stunning portrait featuring three of Premiership Rugby?s star players today (12th August 2020). The giant rugby art, the largest outdoor painting ever created in the UK, was unveiled to celebrate the restart of Gallagher Premiership Rugby on Friday 14 th August when Harlequins take on Sale Sharks at 7:45pm, just 200 metres away. The artwork features Harlequins player, Joe Marler; Saracens? Maro Itoje, as well as Sale Sharks? Rugby World Cup winner Faf de Klerk. It took team of eight artists more than 24 hours to complete the pitch portrait and more than 100 hours of planning before any paint touched the grass. A bespoke computer program was written to generate the precise measurements that were needed to create the artwork to the exact scale of the stadium. The image, which occupies most of the 7,000 square metre pitch, was created using a grid comprised of 13,420 elements. Each painted line in the portrait is just 6 inches wide. Nearly 1280 litres of biodegradable pitch marker paint were used for the elaborate creation. An estimated 150,000 passengers will enjoy the spectacle from the sky this week on flights in and out of London?s Heathrow airport. Faf de Klerk was one of the featured Premiership Rugby stars in the portrait. The Sale Sharks star said, I didn t realise it was going to be on the field, I thought it was going to be a photo up somewhere or on the big screen. It s looking really cool. There are a lot of great players in the Premiership, and it is amazing. I feel really privileged and quite humble . Speaking about the impact of lockdown on the Saracens star Maro Itoje said The last few months have been really tough on fans and players but we?re back and we?re ready for the start of the season on Friday 14th August. The past five months has shown us how important the sport is and what it brings to people lives.
