[edit] Boston Irish Wolfhounds

Nominated on 7 April 2006.

  1. Nominate USA Rugby Division I National Champions in '03 and '04... i added a bit, but there's definitely much room for improvement... cheers!-- Hoopydink 05:53, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
  2. Second Surely then this might be a good chance to increase interest in the game in nations like the United States by exapanding on the Club histories of the teams in leagues outside of the core Union nations. Everyone always focuses on the Guiness Premiership/Celtic League/Super 14 teams, lets have some of the smaller teams in the other nations have the lime light for once :) --Pudduh 12:56, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

  1. Oppose. Sorry but I have never heard of this team. I know nothing about US Rugby that I haven't already added to one article or another. I don't think anybody other than an American would be any different.GordyB 20:58, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
  1. Comment I have heard of the team, and whilst your points are valid, I don't think it has a wide enough appeal to motivate people to contribute to it. Whereas Rugby union is open to everyone, as is Rugby World Cup (which is nominated). Maybe United States national rugby union team would be a better way to go? Cvene64 04:39, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

Nominated on 14 June 2006.

  • Is this information widely avaliable?--HamedogTalk|@ 03:30, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
  • IMO, yes, even using internet resources and general knowledge, I think the article could double in size. Cvene64 03:40, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Don't think we should change articles, even though it has been a month, because the IRB article still needs work. We really need back the enthusiasm we had at the start of the Collaboration, when rugby union was chosen.--HamedogTalk|@ 14:01, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
  • I'm not opposed to keeping IRB for longer either, it really can be a lot better. No harm in voting for others until were done though, and yes, it would be fantastic to get this project fully alive again! Cvene64 16:28, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
