Talk:Canada national rugby union team

message: Not sure I'd call this B-class, it is not nearly as complete or referenced as South Africa national rugby union team which rates as B-class. This to me feels more like start-class.GordyB 11:28, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The United States national rugby union team is rated as start-class and I can't see any significant difference between the two articles.GordyB 11:30, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Sorry Gordy that was my fault. Start is very much what it should be rated as. In case anyone wants to know how to get it up to B, the article would more references, info on colours/jersey and a deeper history in my opnion. Cheers. Cvene64 07:35, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

message: I removed the line that said that BC, NS and NL were "somewhat of a rugby stronghold" due to their climates.  Clearly, the line had originally been written with regard to BC, because they play year-round.  Obviously, no other province has a mild enough climate to play year-round.  Thus, it was not relevant for any other province.  Someone put in a reference to indicate that Newfoundland's climate is milder than average, too.  That's true, but not relevant, because it's still too cold and nasty to play rugby year-round.  Then, someone who clearly likes Nova Scotia rugby kept adding in Nova Scotia to the list - Nova Scotia is about 5th or 6th after BC, Ontario, Alberta, Newfoundland and Saskatchewan in terms of rugby right now.  I was trying to figure out how to make that work, but then I realized that really, that sentence was irrelevant.  It might belong in an article about rugby in Canada in general, but did not belong in an article about the national team itself. AshleyMorton 14:27, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I put the reference in as it was in one of the sources used to write the article. The Rugby union in Canada did not exist at the time. Feel free to move the comment across.GordyB 15:37, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

message: MustafaSheibani just added BMO Field as the grounds, saying "that is what is primarily for home games."  However, I disagree with that assessment.  Of the upcoming five home games (Those five being the three from the Pacific Nations Cup, one from the Irish tour, and one world cup qualifier vs the US, only one of them (the game against Ireland) is being hosted at BMO Field.
In the past few years, there's been two in Kingston (Richardson Memorial), a few in Ottawa, a few in Edmonton, and a bunch in BC.  I don't think there's any one stadium we could call Team Canada's "home grounds."  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Grande (talk • contribs) 12:40, 12 March 2013 (UTC)

message: Would Italy circa 1983 or Argentina circa 1990 really be considered "Tier 1"? Should those count?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Grande (talk • contribs) 17:50, 18 June 2013 (UTC)

message: Think there is constant editing/tweeking of the stats columns, due to minor disputes between scrum.com's stats and the IRB's. I'm inclined to trust the IRB and I beleive Rugby Canada does as well. Scrum barely even covers Tier Two rugby, Have noticed this in a twekaing of Pritchard's points by a conversion, which is due to a dispute between scrum and the IRB's stats from the Barbados test in 2006 for example.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by LittleguyTRF (talk • contribs) 00:58, 27 August 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Let's use IRB stats. 

message: There is a long-standing consensus not to have these lists on rugby union articles (see Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Rugby union/Archive 2#Recent fixture, and Upcoming fixtures lists -- yes way back in 2007). This has also been discussed more recently as part of a larger discussion (see Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Rugby union/Archive 15#Transfers on club articles. If anyone wants to overturn this consensus then an request for comment at WikiProject rugby union would be appropriate.-- Shudde talk 02:52, 13 October 2014 (UTC)

replies: text:  Wikilink to a more recent discussion is Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Rugby union/Archive_15#Upcoming_and_recent_fixtures. 4–2 to get rid. Number of votes too low to establish a consensus either way. If there is another vote about this in the future it might be a good idea to put the result here.

Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia and not a professional network or anything like that (I recommend you have a read of Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not). I'd encourage you to look on facebook or Linkedin for this kind of information -- we try and write encyclopaedic articles on notable topics (including rugby), and don't deal with this kind of thing at all. Sorry. -- Shudde talk 18:55, 25 December 2016 (UTC)
