Scotland won the 'Shield' last night here in NZ. It was the least prestigious of all the trophies, but a win nonetheless!
England won the 'cup', beat New Zealand in the final
On this subject, they have the Sevens in Edinburgh, and it really should be bigger than it is. Over here the 2 days are basically an excuse for a HUGE party, everyone goes in fancy dress, gets steaming, and it all culminates with a massive street party in the city centre, basically it's a really big thing!
I never even knew it was on in Edinburgh until I looked into it a bit more.
Not even a huge rugby fan but a bit more should be made of this when it's on IMO!

I prefer sevens to 'real' rugby I have to say, so I think there is a market to attract some new fans.
Basically it needs some people to start it off, like here in Wellington about 8 years ago. Some people just started dressing up and it took off from there.
