Templeton Cup
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Templeton Cup, frequently referred to as the Bob Templeton Cup,[2] is an annual rugby union trophy contested between the Australian teams of the New South Wales Waratahs and the Queensland Reds in the Super Rugby. The trophy, which was established in 2000 ahead of the Super 12 season, was named in honour of Bob Templeton, former Queensland and Australia representative player and coach who died in December 1999.[3][4]
