Voici Raeburn Place à Edimbourg, jour de 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 1892

Site historique pour le cricket et le rugby, «Home» des Edinburgh Academicals, pionniers du rugby en 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Les tribunes sont sommaires, alors on se débrouille pour bien voir... j’ai souvent rêvé d’être le gars au pied du drapeau !

Le match 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇫🇷 de samedi sera aussi l'occasion de remettre la main sur le Raeburn Shield, trophée non officiel qui se transmet de vainqueur à vainqueur depuis le premier 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 en 1871 ;)

Un trophée remporté par la 🇫🇷 en 1964 pour la 1ere fois...

30 years ago today on February 14, 1993, @Scotlandteam played their first official women's Test V @IrishRugby who were doing the same...

Scotland won 10-0 at @EdinburghAccies' Raeburn Place + the players in both squads were trailblazers whom the current generation owe a lot to
