 RE: Maccabiah teams 

I understand what you mean. I myself was somewhat reluctant to add them to that section at first, exactly for the reason you have stated. I think it's a shame, however, to see the Maccabiah teams entirely out of the ""national"" section of all the templates. It strikes me as slightly misleading; aren't they national teams, after all? Don't they compete on an international basis representing their own countries? Here's an idea that, I believe, addresses both your and my concerns. The Maccabiah teams are included into the ""national"" sections, with a small text within parentheses after their names which clarifies that they are not selected by the rugby unions of each country, just like this: (not chosen by the national rugby union). Tell me what you think.
By the way, thanks for the welcoming message, I appreciate it. -) 190.19.24.98  "
