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.
I'm being pedantic sorry. Purely out of curiosity. If draw after extra time?
Love some pedantry so no worries there 😁
No such thing as a draw in a RWC knock-out game. A winner would always be found eventually and they would take the shield.
OK sweet. Thanks.

Started trying to step up some more regular content outside of current matches so been putting out #ONTHISDAY posts on social.
Ultimately would love to get the chance to interview some older ex players about their memories of some of these games. Think it would be really interesting getting some snapshots of experiences from some of these old games.
It's pretty cool looking back at games which would have involved the Shield if it were officially recognised. (Please do like the social pages and spread the word to help out on that front!)
Here are some examples

The first international mens rugby match was 150 years ago today!
Feel free to show it love in your preferred social channel... (here, or one of the big tech beasts!)
Had hoped to be able to time a visit to Edinburgh for this at one point but as with many things Covid has buggered that. (And the fact today is the due date for our third child!)

Are the Lions included?
Club / Provincial sides which play touring international teams?

Good question
Straight answer is no
Essentially it is only available between nations. Easiest way to think about it is if you could conceivably qualify for a RWC then you can win the Raeburn Shield

If anybody is on reddit and can upvote this so a large community there see it I would be stoked too.

Just gave you a plug replying to World Rugby's tweet. See you've replied

Thank you sir, every little helps
Me and my 17 followers, 11 of whom have no idea who they are ... although 3 of them seem to want to have a deep and meaningful relationship and find me veery sexy...

There are two others?

After a crazy long time between challenges the Raeburn Shield is finally on the line again today.
Georgia get only their third ever shot at it. The Boks may well be quite rusty but still expect them to defend successfully in truth

@davesofthunder I would laugh my proverbials off if they lost! Foster would get an instant contract extension for getting the ABs back to No 1
