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

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.

Had some discussion with the company Thomas Lyte who make loads of shields/trophies and are the caretakers of the Webb Ellis trophy for example.
Have some costings from them and have looked at running a crowd funding campaign to get it made.
Probably one I will look to set up in he nearish future. Probably need £10,000 minimum to get started but it was interesting how they structure these things with allowing winners to purchase their own replicas to keep etc which can help fund some other elements.
For the moment the 3d creation I had done is holding place but it would be amazing to get a physical shield and turn up to present it!

@Hooroo said in Raeburn Shield:
If one of the knock matches that has a Raeburn involved, is a draw after 80 mins, does the holder keep it??
It hasn't actually happened in a final yet as both RSA and England held the shield when they went into those matches.
However, extra time means you have a winner of that match so it is no longer and draw and the winning team would take the shield.
In normal matches with no extra time to find a winner the holder keeps the shield in the event if a draw.

@Davesofthunder I'd get into a crowdfunding campaign for sure.
any sponsorship opportunities?

Just as a follow up to this.
I decided it would be best to build a decent audience before hitting the crowdfunding scenario as you want to maximise the opportunity and ultimately need an audience who will help drive that for you.
Facebook page is up over 1200 and those kind of numbers give a better springboard from which to grow.
Really need to hit a critical mass to make it successful and that will be through a mixture of platforms.
All sharing and support appreciated
