The Raeburn Shield - Who has won the most games?

The Raeburn Shield is an international rugby challenge shield which has changed hands 203 times since 1871

However including all matches even when it did not change hands there have been over 650 games!

We wanted to visualise who was the most successful (e.g. won the most!) based on these 650+ games and created this view to show the winning progressions from 1871 until today.

You might be suprised how long it takes for the All Blacks to show up and in the 1980s there are a couple of nations who might suprise you... Would love to hear more from anyone with thoughts on how they visualise data of this kind.
