Talk:Bledisloe Cup

message: This page should not have any game results or details, only informations about the competitions, like games hosted in different countries. If a game is really important it may be indicated in the History of rugby union matches between Australia and New Zealand page, which now hold details about who won the cup each year.

message: Question, why is "World's Largest Pavlova" listed under See Also? I don't get how it's at all related. Apart from this excerpt from the Pavlova page: "In August 2010, chef Aaron Campbell displayed a 50 square metre rugby-themed pavlova, with the Bledisloe Cup in the centre, in the ChristChurch Cathedral in Christchurch, to raise money for the official charity of the All Blacks." Is that enough for it to belong on this page? Stick (talk) 08:15, 4 September 2011 (UTC)

message: The silversmithing firm Walker and Hall had its main factory and workshops in Sheffield, Yorkshire and, as far as I know, only a saleroom in London. Is the article mistaken or is there something unusual about the cup's manufacture? — Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 14:37, 24 May 2014 (UTC)

message: I recall my grandfather telling me that is so large as the cup was spec'ed in metric but the makers interpreted it in inches. Can anyone confirm this122.56.206.75 (talk) 09:26, 15 August 2015 (UTC)

message: The Australian and New Zealand flags are so similar that the columns of small flag icons in the results are completely pointless. Could these be changed to use rugby union emblems (or just colours), so essentially black for NZ and yellow/green for Australia? Otherwise they should be removed completely.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.185.232.17 (talk) 06:56, 16 August 2019 (UTC)

message: I count 144 games overall and 4 games on neutral grounds. The IP had 146 games and 5 games on neutal grounds. After reverting it, there are 143 games. So some checking is needed.

thread_title:  Overall section 

message: I've tried really hard to understand why there are red borders round some of the left-hand cells in the Results table, but I give up. As it is not immediately obvious what this means, there needs to be an explanatory note underneath the table. Please can someone help? Rodney Baggins (talk) 11:19, 26 December 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: The borders were just added in August by user Mr Hall of England without any explanation: . I have no idea either what it means.--Anaxagoras13 (talk) 13:07, 26 December 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for that Anaxagoras13...  please can you explain the purpose of these edits that you made on 28 August, as you didn't give an edit summary at the time and it's not at all clear what the red borders mean. Thanks, Rodney Baggins (talk) 13:33, 26 December 2019 (UTC)

text: OK thanks, not sure it's really necessary. I'll add a footnote anyway. Rodney Baggins (talk) 16:57, 26 December 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: It is not necessary. The home team wins the Bledisloe Cup at home, and if the home team wins the Bledisloe Cup away?  :-) --Anaxagoras13 (talk) 21:40, 26 December 2019 (UTC)

text: Well I for one would vote to get rid of the borders as they are confusing and unnecessary, and how is it really significant that the host team won at home seeing as there are only two teams anyway? Seems a bit pointless to me! Rodney Baggins (talk) 18:33, 27 December 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: I wanted to give it one more week, but considering it has no point and that it was added without ANY explanation so that only one person in the world knew what it meant, we should have deleted it in the first place. Making such a thing without explaining anything is ridiculous in wikipedia and borders are completely unusual for something like this, normally the whole line is marked in an unobtrusive color if there really would be a reason for this. So I deleted the borders.--Anaxagoras13 (talk) 12:11, 4 January 2020 (UTC)
