EP2: Raeburn Shield - Rugby's ACTUAL Oldest Trophy & New Saviour?, Dave Algie

Dave Algie is one of the most passionate rugby nauses our game has ever been fortunate enough to have 🏉🤓He is the founder of Rugby's Lineal World Titles: the Raeburn Shield (men) and Utrecht Shield (women) 🏆A competition similar to boxing world titles, where the "winner stays on" and puts the trophy on the line every time they take the field 🤯Although Dave founded the competition in the late 2000's, it's origins actually date back to the original international rugby fixture! Making it both the newest and oldest competition in rugby! 🌍Fuelled by only his love for the game, Dave has overcome major obstacles from World Rugby as he tries to grow a solution to one of rugby's biggest problems: creating jeopardy to reduce the number of "dead rubber games" / increase entertainment and investment into the sport, most significantly, without increasing the number of games in a season! 🤩This was a really interesting conversation, and if you want more then you can find the men's and women's official accounts on instagram:Raeburn Shield: https://www.instagram.com/raeburnshield?igsh=cTZoNzMyeXhrY3J1Utrecht Shield: https://www.instagram.com/utrechtshield?igsh=MTRpN3ZocjRyeWkyNQ==Thank you so much for listening, we hope you enjoy 🤝
