Following on from my Last post “RFU Calcutta Cup”
The venue for this match is always the Murreyfield Stadium in Scotland during even years and the Twickenham Stadium in England during odd years.
I wondered if you were aware that there are other Trophy’s awarded during the 6 Nations Championship.
The Centenary Quaich
A trophy contested by Scotland and Ireland Annually during the 6 Nations Championship, introduced in 1989
This traditional Scottish drinking vessel was used to offer a guest a cup of welcome and also as a farewell drink, usually a dram of whisky.
Giuseppe Garibaldi Trophy
Awarded first time on 3 February 2007 to France as part of the celebrations of the bicentenary of Giuseppe Garibaldi’s birth. He was an Italian revolutionary born in 1807.
Millennium Trophy
Contested annually by Ireland and England It was initiated in 1988 as part of Dublin’s millennial celebrations. The trophy has the shape of a horned Viking helmet.
Unfortunately I could not find any Trophy that is contested by Ireland and Wales.
