The current hook is a bit niche, perhaps something else could be said about him or his career? I'm not really sure if the current hook would appeal to non-rugby fans, especially since "Championship" is mentioned here with no additional context. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 05:11, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
- @Narutolovehinata5: The issue is that most of the other stuff in the article is even more "niche" as it's general rugby stuff. This hook I proposed because I feel it works in having a player leading criticism of a major national sporting body. I though the fact I had spelt out Rugby Football Union in full made it clear about the context of the Championship. But I have added RFU to Championship to clarify. The C of E God Save the Queen!

- That sounds fair, but I still feel that the hook is niche. Perhaps someone else could provide some input here if it's appropriate: Lee Vilenski? Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 11:59, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
- The actual fact here is very hooky IMO. Perhaps if we linked RFU Championship, and denote that it's a league, so it was plans by the RFU to cut funding to a whole league! Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 12:13, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
- That sounds like a a good idea. I think one of the original issues was that it wasn't clear what the Championship being referred to was, which has already been resolved. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 12:22, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
- @Narutolovehinata5: Any thoughts as the issue has been sorted? The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 06:48, 24 May 2020 (UTC)
- I think it would be a better idea for Lee to take care of this, as I'm still not a big fan of the hook even though the RFC thing has been addressed. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 11:32, 24 May 2020 (UTC)

- as above, I'm quite happy with it now the league is linked. I'd like it to make more of a statement regarding it being a league with how many clubs it affected but I couldn't reword it. Passing as it meets everything else. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 11:48, 24 May 2020 (UTC)
