Slitherine

A multi-national company (who wish to remain anonymous) has presented the competition with a new prize to be played for annually. It will be a competition between England and Scotland, seeing as neither will win anything in the rugby

The scoring will encompass any games between English and Scottish players. The total points scored in each game will be added up and thus a winner decided

The prize will be presented to the winning captain who will then wear the trophy for photographs from the international press, like the Yellow jersey in cycling

The prize itself will remain a closely guarded secret under heavy guard until the prize giving

The trophy has been delivered by the armoured truck and will be making the journey to Robin Hoods Bay tomorrow.

The engraving has been finished and all is now ready for the proud moment for winning captain and his team
