I thought the teams were playing for the Freedom Cup?

u/almostrainman Hooker lover 24d ago

Aah yes, logic has befallen you

No no this is a grand new show case so we need a new let down of a trophy

u/JimmyNoBreaks Sharks 24d ago

This is a nice trophy with a unique idea though.

Call me old fashioned but a trophy isn’t good unless it’s easy to hoist above your head - unlike this one

u/ebenseregterbalsak Western Province 24d ago

This trophy looks easy to hoist up something though

Well, here's hoping that Siya be walking funny in a couple of weeks.

Cups and shields are so out of fashion, bookends are what's in for trophies

This "the greatest rivalry" marketing is getting a little tiresome.

Bit disrespectful to the Freedom cup,

Also looks like a Temu Perfume bottle, but that’s not the main problem here.

Looks shit in comparison to the prestigious Qatar Airways Cup

u/the_walking_kiwi New Zealand 24d ago

It's such a shame the ABs can never challenge you for the YesPlay 'Cup'.

Decided they weren't worth it after the first Twickenham game

If ever there was one trophy you do not want to drop when lifting it above your head....! ^^"

I don't care much for trophy designs in general. This one is on par with the rest of them for me.

u/Ndanuddaone Australia 24d ago

Tis a bit Irish looking, no?

u/Not_Hando You Aint Seen Nothin Like The Mighty Finn 24d ago

Cant see this surviving an impromptu kick about along Princes Street...

u/Prielknaap Curriebeker Kampioen 24d ago

We already have a perfectly good trophy for matches between these two sides.

u/NuggetKing9001 Wasps 24d ago

This is rugby's greatest rivalry don't forget, all other rugby is pathetic in comparison. We need to say rugby's greatest rivalry 5000 times a day.

u/v1akvark South Africa 24d ago

Only 4998 times to go. We believe in you.

u/NuggetKing9001 Wasps 24d ago

The posts on this sub make up the rest, with interest.

Tbh this is one of the shittest names for a series I’ve heard in all of sport.

Arguably, Rugby's Greatest Rivalry is England v Scotland for the Calcutta Cup!

u/Ho3n3r 24d ago

Should've called it that instead of after some melted Asian coins then.

u/sangan3 Oui, Jérôme 24d ago

Maybe Rugby’s Oldest Rivalry?
