Raeburn Shield
-
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.

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

Honestly after this long playing together anything is possible.
Didn't one of the South African provincial sides get smashed by an Italian team a couple of weeks back?
But yeah, I expect them to ease past Georgia
