 * Symbol question.svg Article is new and long enough. Hook is cited but I think it is slightly meandering. I also think Wimbledon should be "Wimbledon RFC" to avoid confusion. I would suggest "... that London South Africa RFC started as a new club at the bottom of English rugby after the RFU blocked their attempts to buy a National League 1 club and Wimbledon RFC?" or something similar.

 * Fine by me, it just seems like what I had proposed reversed.  The C of E God Save the Queen!  ( talk ) 23:53, 5 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg It is, yes, my version reads more clearly to me. I will add my suggestion as ALT1 below but since you have substituted "Wimbledon" for "Wimbledon RFC" in the original hook the closing editor could choose whichever version they prefer.
