"The cup will become a new, annual trophy that will be contested during the Smartech Super Rugby Pacific regular season, beginning on Saturday at GIO Stadium during Anzac Weekend Round.
"Named in honour of Captain Alfred Shout VC, MC, a hero of Gallipoli with ties to both Australia and New Zealand, the cup symbolises the enduring legacy of Anzac, sacrifice, and shared history."
