From external peer review

[T]he rugby [pages (league, union)] are A1. If I were to be hyper-critical, I might say that they are a little too up to date and don't care enough for history, but that merely reflects the audience, I would suggest. This is what the internet was intended to be: a non-pejorative, apolitical take on everyday life.

There was no South Africa in 1891.

Facts are incorrect on first test. 2607:FEA8:BD20:FB00:D00D:3CF7:186B:4F37 (talk) 22:22, 12 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

How did this nonsense get past the mods

“For almost a hundred years, South Africans have been proud of the performance of their rugby union team, the Springboks are known throughout the world, even by non-rugby specialists. Rugby union is very popular in South Africa, the one which is practiced preferably by the most talented sportsmen of the country. Many teams have had their biggest defeats to the Springboks; including Australia, Italy, Scotland, Uruguay and Wales” 78.17.127.38 (talk) 21:25, 20 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
