Talk:History of rugby union in Australia

Article Start
I used the ARU history to give some framework to this article, but I still feel like their are some elements missing from this article:
 * Overview of Wallabies performances, but no lists, they can be linked to in separate articles if needed.
 * Sevens Rugby
 * Schools Rugby Public/Private - after all this is where most (?) get their feet wet.
 * Women's rugby
 * Overview by state with a link to each state's article (if there is one). Possibly build some sub headings into the Early History section for each state union?
 * 1971 South Africa rugby union tour of Australia should get at least a mention
 * Super Rugby
 * Tri-nations

This article should become the main article for Australian Rugby History, with Rugby union in Australia being refined/pared down for the rest of that article to be developed in balance. Right now it is overpowering the balance of that article.

Resources (feel free to add here if you find)
