The 1891–92 Scottish Districts season is a record of all the rugby union matches for Scotland's district teams.
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 2 January 1892 at Norch Inch,[4] Perth was postponed.[5]
North and South were due to play on Monday 18 January 1892 at Raeburn Place in Edinburgh.[6][7]
East and West played their Trial match on 23 January 1892. Admission was noted as 1 shilling.[8]
