Raeburn Shield

@davesofthunder I tried to find an existing post to comment on but with no luck. The AB's mightn't get it back for a while depending on EOYT results.

Aye, I must admit I would quite like it to end up in the six nations now we have lost it.

Since I live a ten minute walk from Twickenham. England holding it would be useful for being able go take a wander out and spread the word ahead of matches.

It's been years since they held it!

Awful thread title for anyone who happened to open a browser on the fern by mistake, and then watched the game on replay...definitely took the tension out of the match.

@snowy yep. i hate spoilers.

[NTA]

That's the price of not being a REAL fan of the ABs who would watch it live.

@nta at least it gives us a chance to not watch it and pretend it never happened i guess

That sucks dude.

I must say I stay well off this and all social media if I am delaying watching a match. (Helpful comment now of course 😉)

So do I, but opened browser to check weather forecast and the Fern unread items page was last page that had read. With that title as the first line- hard to miss. Just Raeburn shield would have been good.

Fixed

Make it better?

@booboo Thank you, but not really (I'm actually just grumpy because we lost of course).

If @westcoastie sees your repairs it might help someone in future.

I think it is polite though - I sometimes keep up with the comments on a replay, and having a game result in a title is annoying.

@nzzp As soon as anyone watching it late saw that there had been Fern traffic on a Raeburn Shield thread, they'd have know we had lost anyway...

yep, but not from a first glance at the thread title.

England the new holder...

Did that give it away? Next defense v Samoa.

@booboo

That's the one from 2018 😁

You had me worried there for a minute. Don't get much sleep with a four month old in the house so totally could have made that error!
