The Cook Cup, a 25-year-old trophy contested by Australia and England, will be renamed after the two countries’ rugby unions agreed to drop the reference to the British explorer before the upcoming Test series.
A new trophy is set to be unveiled in the build-up to the first Test in Perth on 2 July, and will be named the Ella-Mobbs Trophy after Indigenous Australian and Wallabies great Mark Ella and the former England winger Edgar Mobbs, who died while serving his country in the first world war.
