Raeburn Shield

@davesofthunder said in Raeburn Shield - Australia the new holder:
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.

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

England the new holder...
Did that give it away? Next defense v Samoa.

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!

Aaaahhh ... note to self: learn to read
It was the first and last post I saw coz it was at the bottom of the page. Thought it odd ...

Second time holding it for Japan who took it off Wales in 2013.
What could be interesting is that it is possible the Raeburn shield doesn't make it out of the group depending on results.
In every RWC so far it has always made it all the way through and been on the line in the final.
I suspect it will this time as if someone beats japan they are likely going through but it absolutely could wind up not making it.

So Japan take it out of pool play. SAF likely to take it this weekend, could possibly now play out that the shield and RWC final has two trophies up for grabs...

It has to from here doesn't it?

Probably right lol, not as poetic as when I first thought about it ..gives himself uppercut lol

@Davesofthunder Out of interest has there been any thought into creating a physical shield and then perhaps offering it up for a match? The big unions might not care too much but if it headed to Japan again they might show some interest. Might even be able to crowdfund its creation.
