Boston RFC is now a good article! hoopydinkConas tá tú? 22:01, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
It's now a featured list! hoopydinkConas tá tú? 02:16, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
Update I've collected all of the information and I'm slowly adding sections to each team's article. I have a rubric, so the articles will all be formatted the same and have the same sections. I also hope to model the Rugby Super League article after the Super 14 article. hoopydinkConas tá tú? 20:04, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
Another update; things are moving along slowly but surely. Each team's article is a bit fleshed out and the Rugby Super League article is coming along as well hoopydinkConas tá tú? 20:11, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
Samegoes for Rugby World Cup qualification - needs a lot of help.Cvene64 07:01, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Rugby union in the United States is now a blue link, as you can see, but not a very good one. Most of the sections are blank and needs to be heavily edited. I'll be working on it, but it's a big article and could use multiple editors. Hoopydink 04:36, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
  • New COTF - Rugby World Cup - sub-pages need the most help. Cvene64 02:12, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Template:Rugby_Team_infobox applied to Ulster Rugby. Can someone confirm what the away socks and shorts colours are please? --Kwekubo 17:57, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
  • AIB League created, though there is very little there at present.GordyB 15:01, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
  • I have made a fortnightly collabortation which can be found here:Portal:Rugby Union/Collaboration of the fortnight.--HamedogTalk|@ 02:20, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Hi. I have started a new category of Users who support a national rugby union team. I hope that will be of interest and useful. --Historian 11:58, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Whilst tidying up the Springbok's page I moved a description of the 2004 Tri Nations Series to a new page. I also moved data from the Tri Nations Series to the same page. It still needs some work, perhaps somebody could fill in the missing sections?GordyB 10:47, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Major changes to the history section of Fiji national rugby union team.GordyB 10:38, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
  • For some reason the USA, Fiji, Tonga and Samoa Union pages have an automatic redirect to their respective national team pages. This is very annoying as it prevents the creation of separate articles on their governing bodies. Does anybody know how this can be fixed or why it is happening?GordyB 15:39, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
    • The redirect can be removed but then it leaves a blank article like this. I have done this with Fiji but I think someone will revert the redirect if it stays too long without any content. I don't think we should remove the redirects until with have material to put in its place.GringoInChile 17:16, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
      • It takes no time at all to make a stub.GordyB 21:31, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
        • I've worked out how to do it. Thanks. I'll replace the redirects with decent stubs. I've already done the Fiji Rugby Union.GordyB 22:17, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
  • I started the template Template:National_rugby_team. Feel free to edit it and so on. Forever young 10:30, 27 January 2006 (UTC) - copied from talk page.
  • British and Irish Lions - continues to be a problem due to persistant politicisation by people who do not even like rugby union.GordyB 17:25, 7 January 2006 (UTC) Seems to have died down.GordyB 10:42, 27 January 2006 (UTC). I've contacted an admin who removed the POV tag, there is no reason for this article to have one other than a couple of individuals not liking the concept of the Lions or the fact that the IRFU refer to themselves as a 'home nation'. This may restart the row.GordyB 21:49, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
  • History section added to All Blacks.GordyB 13:24, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Hello, i know that im the new member, retro_junkies, but why is the powergen cup on the scot_rugby_prem template when it has nothing to do with scottish clubs?
    • Never noticed it before. I've deleted it. I suspect that either the English or Welsh template was used as a model (probably the Welsh one) and somehow it slipped through.GordyB 22:06, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
      • And that's why it's great that we now have a Scotland fan in the project. Welcome User:Retro_junkies! --Stormie 00:14, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
        • Thank you very much!, please find under the the templates, templates for the scots 2nd and 3rd divisons! -- User:Retro_junkies
  • Is anyone out there interested in Sydney club rugby? Have started pages on NSWRU and its comps as well as Suburban rugby. There are over 50 clubs in 'subbies' alone. Would someone (esp anyone with a wider range of Wiki skills than myself) like to help out or give me some tips. Would love to do a template but don't know how. Much appreciated. Soundabuser 01:50, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
    • It'd be nice to get more detail on the clubs at the Tooheys New Cup level first, although I'd never discourage you from doing articles on subbies clubs if you're willing and able to do so. —Stormie 12:14, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
      • Have just begun pages on each of the remaining Shute Shield/Tooheys New Cup team, they all need plenty of work but its a start Soundabuser 03:22, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
  • I've started augmenting the Zurich_Premiership page with the final tables but I'm busy at present so have only done two. This data is freely available at various rugby sites (Sporting life, Leicester Tigers) if anyone else has the time. Stuey 26/04/06
