[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.
-- Andy Capostagno, sports commentator at Supersport and rugby commentator for the Mail & Guardian online, Can you trust Wikipedia?, Elvira van Noort, Johannesburg, South Africa, 07 November 2005 09:13.

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)
