 * Keep (for now). I don't know enough about Rugby to tell if the claims in the article are sufficient for notability or not, but he definitely has a large following according to Google.  Hopefully a Rugby fan can weigh in on this one...  Thatdog 07:59, 28 August 2005 (UTC)


 * Keep. It has a strong grounds for being kept according to google.  Morgan Turinui played for his country in one of most prominant rugby nations.  That is worth noting.
 * Keep. Didn't have to look this one up. Known throughout the rugby playing world, which means he's known to more people for his sport than your average World Series player is for his. Grutness...  wha?  09:00, 28 August 2005 (UTC)
