[QUOTE="William18, post: 593792, member: 38439"] There is a huge financial gain in that a province like Counties can get crowds of about 10,000 when they have the shield and may have only got about 5,000 without it. The Shield has been around since about 1905. Ranfurly himself was a governor-general and the Shield was like his farewell present. I believe he spent a lot of time in Ireland during his life.
