Is there any particular reason why so many rugby union and dual-code players are using the rugby league biography infobox? Rugby league has its own biography infobox, so the rugby union and dual-code players should use the one designed for them ( Template:Infobox Rugby biography). Better yet, why not leave that infobox to the dual-code players and create a brand new one for the union players? To be quite honest, the current one is pretty shoddy anyway, in my opinion. Way too many parameters! - PeeJay 20:09, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

I would like to bring your attention to the Takudzwa Ngwenya article. This guy will quickly become a star, we should anticipate his rising status by expanding and clean this article. Americain rugby popularity can improve by this only guy ! Stasm 12:42; 24 September, 2007 (UTC).
Is he related with Houston Dynamo's Joseph Ngwenya? However, he's a really good player. -- necronudist ( talk) 12:15, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
I've added them to the list of requested articles, but would just like to add here that getting them quality bio pages are probably of pretty high importance, seeing as they're currently #1 and 2 in the premiership in scoring, respectively, and have not even a stub to their name.

I have requested a peer review of Portal:Rugby Union here. I am trying to get the portal to featured status; I'm not sure how far away it is because I do not have very much experience with portals, and would greatly appreciate any feedback at all.

Things seems to advance quickly in Woking for the IRB Forum. Argentina has been invited to play the bye team in the Tri-Nations. Many more is going to change from this meeting, so, It seems evidence to make an article about this, but which name to give it ? Woking forum, 2007 IRB Forum. Also, how made this article ?

This guy played for Portugal at the World Cup, where he went by the name "Ruben Spachuck". However, User:Mistico has raised the argument that in Portugal, and on the French Wikipedia, the player is referred to as Cristian Spachuk (with only one C in his surname). I have attempted to explain to Mistico that Wikipedia policy is to name articles per the name that the person is most commonly known by in the English-language media, but he doesn't seem to be having any of it, and now he wishes to email the Portuguese Rugby Union to clarify the situation. If anyone could help defuse the situation, the discussion is at User talk:Mistico#Ruben/Cristian Spachuck. Thanks. – Pee Jay 18:04, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

I'm trying to find a citation for Rhys Thomas (rugby player born 1904), but I'm having trouble even figuring out if this individual really exists. I couldn't find any non-Wikipedia sources for his existence and the article was started by a long-gone anon, so I can't ask the article's original creator for one. I want to add a proper citation for List of centenarians, but I can't seem to find one. Is this article a hoax or is this just another example of how much I suck at Google?

Unfortunately the Project's Collaboration of the Fortnight has not been functioning very well for some time. From memory the most successful collaboration was Rugby World Cup which is now a Featured Article. I am hoping that some of us can get together and actually start an effective collaboration. I have nominated several articles, and am taking a few things into consideration;
Based on this I have nominated several articles I believe meet these criteria. Please have a look at the nominations page, but specifically I have nominated: Six Nations Championship, history of rugby union, playing rugby union and also rugby union. Please would people have a look and support an article if they will, or add another nomination if they can think of a good one. I'd really like to get some form of collaboration going. Any ideas on how to do this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. - Shudde talk 04:16, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
Following on from the international squad templates, I'm after creating one for usage with club rugby. I've done a small bit of tinkering regarding the name and such.

I know that succession boxes are common on lots of articles (whether it be sports articles or otherwise), but I think that having all the Five Nations and Home Nations wins in articles such as England national rugby union team and France national rugby union team looks pretty awful. What if we were to add Calcutta Cup victories as well? It'd be absurd. I think we should do one of two things:
Any support, or further suggestions would be welcomed. We should try to reach a consensus on this. - Shudde talk 22:24, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

Added navboxes to 11 of the 12 Guinness Premiership clubs. Any player who has moved from or to a club has not been added to the navbox. If there not on the clubs current list on their wikipedia pages then they are not on the navbox, if they are still on the current squad on the wikipedia page then they have most likely been transferred onto the navbox.
