non notable and short lived set of friendly games. Different match reports mention different versions of the sponsor name. Google searches not finding any substantial coverage about the competition only individual match reports of friendlies with passing mentions. noq (talk) 15:28, 22 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Per nom. Fails WP:NRIVALRY for me as there's not enough coverage of the rivalry between the sides, and personally I don't there's any at all. Just a set of friendly matches. Rugbyfan22 (talk) 09:13, 23 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - I do not think there is evidence of notability and would be inclined to support the view expressed by others that these were just a series of friendlies. The Saracens F.C. article has an "International relationships" section - these matches are not currently mentioned there, but perhaps they could be and this would probably be sufficient coverage.
