History

In September, new scoring was introduced throughout Scotland, England, Ireland and Wales. The Scottish Referee newspaper was disdainful of the changes; stating that although they were a step in the right direction, the changes did not go far enough. It concluded:

Indeed, the whole system of scoring as adopted is a survival of the time - the stupid time - when one goal was considered of greater value than any number of tries.[1]

This is the first season that Glasgow District was scheduled to play South of Scotland District; and that Edinburgh District was again scheduled to play North of Scotland. Prior to this year, Glasgow always played North of Scotland District; and Edinburgh always played South of Scotland District.[2]

However both matches, due to be played on 14 December, were called off on account of frost.[3]

The North v Midlands match of 28 November 1891 at North Inch, Perth was called off due to heavy rainfall.[4]

The North v Midlands match of 2 January 1892 at North Inch,[5] Perth was postponed.[6]

North and South were due to play on Monday 18 January 1892 at Raeburn Place in Edinburgh.[7][8]

East and West played their Trial match on 23 January 1892. Admission was noted as 1 shilling.[9]
