:The situation you've just described makes things really difficult to standardise on a global scale, but yes, I think changing 'Club' to 'Team' makes perfect sense. As for weight, I don't think this is a necessary parameter, but that's just my personal opinion; since a lot of club sites include it, feel free to add. – [[User:PeeJay2K3|Pee]][[User talk:PeeJay2K3|Jay]] 20:40, 10 April 2013 (UTC) |

A few things
Firstly, I like this template, it does seem more useful than Template:Infobox rugby biography. I had a look at the history of the template, doesn't seem as if weight was ever in there, I thought it was just an omission. Also, the value is set up in some pages that link to this template. Is there any particular reason not to have this in? Also, are there any objections changing "club" to "team", so that it could be used worldwide (it does say "team" under "senior career", can this be extended to say "current team" instead of "current club", "Senior team appearances and points", etc.)? In southern hemisphere rugby, in order of importance, you have national teams, then Super Rugby franchise teams, then domestic provincial teams (in the ITM Cup and Currie Cup competitions) and then club teams. In Irish rugby union system, the main teams are also called "provinces" instead of "clubs", with club rugby a tier below that. So, since club rugby does not have the same status throughout rugby, I propose a change to "team" would be more generic and usable for worldwide rugby.TheMightyPeanut (talk) 12:25, 23 December 2011 (UTC)

Proposal
Would there be any objections to adding in an "Amateur Team" section? This can be used to show amateur teams that a player might have played for before he turned professional, or after his retirement?
These games would obviously not have First Class status, so it would seem incorrect to include them in the "Senior Career" section and they are obviously not Youth or Representative games.
If nothing is specified, it won't get displayed.
See one example with this included and one with this excluded (which looks like the former version) below. Any thoughts?
As a second suggestion, please see the new two boxes, containing a coloured title bar along with a graphic (which is currently in use for Wikipedia in other languages. Any thoughts about that??? TheMightyPeanut (talk)
