This article was created as a draft on September 7 by Asmith001, and moved to article space and expanded by 97198 on October 6. For the purposes of DYK, its creation date is October 6, new enough and long enough. There is a link to a disambiguation page on "rugby" but that's easily fixed, the QPQ is done, sourcing looks adequate, and Earwig found no significant copying. The hook is within rules and the hook source checks out. I prefer the original hook to ALT1, which looks too much like an advertisement for the crowdfunding campaign (even though it's now long over). Good to go with the original hook. —David Eppstein (talk) 20:15, 6 October 2019 (UTC)
