[edit] Cardiff RFC or Blues
Shall we try and stay neutral on this issue?
Text biased in favour of one particular view will just be changed by someonelse with an equally biased view. Then it all starts to become a bit childish. Lets just stick to facts. There's already a section on the page which discusses the identity issue. Best to keep that stuff there or it just clutters up the page. Theres no need to change all references to "Cardiff Blues" to just "Cardiff" or "Blues". No need to clutter the history section with stuff about the circumstances behind switiching from 9 clubs or the status of the Premiership side. It isn't directly relevant to the topic and there are other sections on wikipedia for that material.
[edit] Formed in 2003
The Blues were formed in 2003, not 1876 as some people keep changing it to. Cardiff RFC were formed in 1876. In 2003, due to the regionalisation of welsh rugby, Cardiff RFC spawned a new team, the Cardiff Blues, which would compete at the top level of club rugby, including the Heineken Cup, and would therefore carry on the history of Cardiff RFC in that respect. The Cardiff RFC club however remained and competed in the Welsh premiership. Before 2003 the Cardiff Blues did not exist, and therefore they were formed in 2003. The Cardiff Blues were not "rebranded" in 2003. They came into existence in 2003. If you really want to use the word rebranded, it would apply only to Cardiff RFC, however this would not make much sense as the RFC side still exist. Besides any of this, the infobox cannot display a formed in and rebranded in year, so to avoid confusion, just leave it as 2003. The history of the club is in the article anyway.
