Does not seem to yet meet WP:NRIVALRY or WP:GNG; there do not seem to be many reliable sources discussing the rivalry between these two nations in any depth, which is not surprising since they play against each other an average of once every seven years. These countries are both High Performance Unions but I don't believe that this article should be exempt from meeting GNG. No prejudice against recreating the article if their rivalry does gain a bit more attention later. All this article can be at the moment is just a listing of match results and is therefore a violation of WP:NOTSTATS. Spiderone 10:23, 22 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • I created the article but have no opinion either way. I created it initially because I figured any two notable rugby teams should have a match history page since its a fairly niche sport competitively but if that's not the case, fair enough. I've leave the decision up to ye. Stevenbfg (talk) 17:50, 22 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Even if this does end up being deleted, please feel free to copy to your user space. This topic could be notable enough for a stand-alone article in the future. Spiderone 07:52, 23 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
