Talk:United States national rugby union team

message: I uploaded a photo of the team's mascot and was considering adding it to the article. However, I noticed that there is no mention of the mascot anywhere in the article. Anybody have an opinion on whether the mascot is worthy of inclusion?

message: I have deleted several players listed in this section who have never played for the US. Many of the listed players have publicly stated their intent to play for a different country,  some have been called into camp for a different country, some had turned down a call-up to the US team.  
I don't think those players should be listed here for the following reasons:
# This section of the page is about US players, so if an athlete has not played for the US, he doesn't belong here.  
# If we expand the list to include other eligible players, then this becomes a list without any real criteria and without limit.  There are thousands of rugby players eligible to play for the US, and I don't see what criteria we would use when deciding which eligible players to include here.
# If editors are adding names of athletes they think might play for the US in the future, that sort of speculation does not belong in an encyclopedia (See WP:CRYSTALBALL).  
# If editors are adding names of athletes because they would like to see them play for the US, again this does not belong in an encyclopedia (See WP:ILIKEIT). 
# I looked at Wiki pages of other major national rugby teams (and some major national soccer teams) and I didn't find a single one that listed athletes who might play for that country some day but have not yet played for that country.
I posted this to see if others had different views and to see if we can reach consensus.  So if others agree or disagree, please chime in, and explain your reasons why. Barryjjoyce (talk) 02:02, 20 April 2013 (UTC)

message: I check pages listed in :Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of :United States national rugby union team's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
Reference named "Scotland":
From 2017 end-of-year rugby union internationals: 
From 2019 Rugby World Cup warm-up matches: 
From 2018 end-of-year rugby union internationals: 
Reference named "USA":
From ESPN: 
From 2018 June rugby union tests: 
From 2017 end-of-year rugby union internationals: 
I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 01:11, 7 June 2019 (UTC)

message: “As of the end of 2019, the two sides have met 58 times, with 22 wins for the U.S., 38 wins for Canada, and 2 draws.”
Summing the wins and draws comes to 62 matches, not 58. What is the source of the error here? And are current figures available? Sakkaden (talk) 20:53, 5 May 2023 (UTC)
