Untitled[edit]

This page claims that Gareth Rees is "probably the greatest Canadian rugby player ever." Would this constitute a bias? What about Scott Franklin? And according to whom is he the greatest? Just my $0.02

Sillyness[edit]

So... Rees was a Formula Three winner in 1994 eh? Considering the winner of that was British if you look at the page, and the Rugby version is clearly Canadian, I think a disambig page should be created... So that there is a rugby Rees and an auto racing Rees. Because they clearly weren't the same person! Alex Holowczak 18:51, 26 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Greatest Honour?

From an interview with Wales On-line: He was the first player from a non-traditional rugby nation to be inducted to rugby's hall of fame, while he also became the first rugby player to be admitted into Canada's sports hall of fame.

Both honours mean a lot, but perhaps its the latter that means that little bit more.

"To be alongside Wayne Gretzky, the greatest hockey player of all time, is unheard of for my sport. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:C7F:480A:7D00:19D8:348:5686:33B5 (talk) 22:07, 31 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
