 * Hi there, I'm not sure that deserves to be a stand-alone article, it will probably only ever be one table. I propose merging it into South Africa national rugby union team (sevens). as per WP:MERGEREASON, "Text: If a page is very short and is unlikely to be expanded within a reasonable amount of time, it often makes sense to merge it with a page on a broader topic."

 * Hi, given that the news articles I have dug up seem to indicate South Africa is a major team at the competition, I would tend to say this could go either way. However, the trivia will have to be removed and a good season-by-season description will need to be added. I don't think the article is harmful in any way, so why not give it a few months.

File permission problem with File:World Rugby Rankings 2003-mid 2017.png
Thanks for uploading File:World Rugby Rankings 2003-mid 2017.png. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add OTRS pending to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as non-free fair use or one of the other tags listed at File copyright tags, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included.
