So those keen souls who have this watchlisted will have been barraged by a string of edits. I think I've sorted quite of a few of the issues and absences this article faced, most heavily on references. There is no fundamental reason this article couldn't be B quality, more importantly actually answer the main questions anyone might ask.
I think there are a few key aspects, most of which are now dependent on something else other than pure time
A picture - amazingly there isn't one in Commons, and grabbing photos from elsewhere very risky. Anyone can actually take a photo and upload with suitable permissions that'd be great.
Player history - Mark was a high level player for a long time, but there is almost no content on it
Player formatting, my suggestion would be Player History, with sub-sub-sections for London Irish, Ulster & Ireland
Sourcing & Content - the biggest issue. There are basic result details for LI and Ireland careers via ESPN, but almost no details for overall Ulster play, let alone specific articles
2012-2014, a few poorly/non-equally covered years with Sarries.
