#ONTHISDAY 1ST FEBRUARY 1902 - WaL Vs SCO

Rhys Gabe scored two tries in this match to see The Welsh Rugby Union take the Raeburn Shield off of Scottish Rugby in the 1902 edition of the Home Nations Championship.

A great year for the Welsh as they won the Home Nations Championship and the Triple Crown in this year.

By contrast it was a tough year for Scotland who went from the Triple Crown in 1901 to losing all of their matches in 1902.

The Raeburn Shield remains unrecognised by @worldrugby and therefore it is an unnofficial Shield which traces winners from the first international match in 1871 until today. If like us you believe it should be official please share this post and like our page. (Or have a word with @worldrugby !) Huge thanks in advance!
