I watched the Freedom Cup being presented tonight after the test between the Springboks and New Zealand and came here to look into the history of the cup as I hadn't heard of it before. It's obviously only a minor trophy, but I noticed that the article here says it's biennial (which is clearly how it started) yet it was contested this year which would be out of that sequence. I can't find any references elsewhere to the change in timetable - can anyone else?

Results table edit

The results table is currently showing NZ won it in 2017, after one match (one to play.) Technically the series is still in progress, and according to the page here: History_of_rugby_union_matches_between_New_Zealand_and_South_Africa a drawn series would be decided on aggregate (unlike say the Bledisloe cup rules where a drawn series leaves the cup with the holder.)

Of course, current aggregate of 57 point advantage is highly unlikely to be wiped out in test two. But I can't find any external references to the Cup rules for either this page or the History of matches one — Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.99.217.233 (talk) 07:55, 20 September 2017 (UTC)Reply
