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
-
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
-
@davesofthunder We want them to keep it so the ABs can take it back in the RC
-
@machpants South Africa play Georgia twice! Let Georgia take it in this game, and SA take it back next week!

And just to keep this thread updated.
The Wallabies are now the Raeburn Shield holders after taking it off of the Springboks.
If the All Blacks want a shot at it they really need the Boks to win it back this weekend.

one of the holders should just make the thing and give it to the next team that beats them, once its out there it would keep going

That’s pretty much what I see happening, a boklash!

I am actually thinking about just finding a woodworking class (or a youtube woodworker who wants an interesting project) and just getting it done.
I have spent so much time on the shield that the idea I actually create the physical shields appeal a lot!
-
@davesofthunder start a GoFundMe!

I'm not fussed if we win the shield back, just want that number one ranking.

^^^ This. There are a few who would contribute I suspect.
Get a price, though, and consider a stage. Ranfurly Shield was orginally smaller, but had 'add ons' to make it bigger. You could do the same - have an initial shield of decent quality, but with future design concept to make it bigger/more meaningful
-
Yep I might come calling on a crowd fund at some point. 😀
I did actually chat to a guy from Thomas Lyte (who make a lot of the major trophies) and it would be possible with enough cash but I haven't taken that further.
At the moment I am seriously considering just paying for wood workshop time and tuition and just making them myself and then doing the same for the metal and engraving on top.
Would be hugely satisfying for me and as someone else mentioned to me I could be the Lord Bledisloe of World Rugbh which is not so bad for a simple kiwi boy

@davesofthunder seriously, I think you'd be better off getting a 'name' in the field to make it. You are going to need to sell this to RU and/or broadcasters to get it on the pitch and presented, and 'I made this myself' will be a big red flag, no matter how good it is. Also, woodworking is hard
Suggest a gofundme - if you can even show an 'I'm about to get this made' piece, you could start the ball rolling. Ultimately, though, your pathway is probably through players, players associations, rugby unions or broadcasters to get this considered.
It's a fight worth having, as I think it's great. Good luck!
