General: Article is new enough and long enough

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: Interesting:

QPQ: Done.

Overall: Approved Minimal extra work needed. The sentence about the liquidation of London Welsh could do with the Ruck reference attached to it (as well as to the following sentence). I'd recommend linking London Welsh and RFU in the hook and liquidation in both the hook and the article. Also, in the article, the link to Sonny Parker needs disambiguation (to Sonny Parker (rugby union)) and it would be good to expand |ground= in the infobox or add |location=, for readers unfamiliar with where Old Deer Park is. Unrelated to DYK, I'd also add a hatnote to London Welsh RFC, given the subject has now taken on that name. (Done) That all said, good work! If you {{ping}} me once you've tweaked things, I'll come give you the green tick :) — OwenBlacker (talk; please {{ping}} me in replies) 00:44, 7 January 2018 (UTC)

@OwenBlacker: I have made the adjustments you have suggested except the linking as I feel to link all those in the hook would be WP:OLINK. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 21:00, 7 January 2018 (UTC)

@The C of E: Thanks. I'd worry that non-Brits might not understand what liquidation or the RFC are, don't you think? — OwenBlacker (talk; please {{ping}} me in replies) 21:24, 7 January 2018 (UTC)

@OwenBlacker: Possibly, but that might incite them to click on liquidation rather than the article so I'd rather not link it. I have expanded RFU to say Rugby Football Union just to make that clearer. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 21:38, 7 January 2018 (UTC)

@The C of E: I'd always tend to link more things in the hook personally, but I'm happy to approve this and agree to disagree. Congratulations on another DYK :) — OwenBlacker (talk; please {{ping}} me in replies) 22:07, 7 January 2018 (UTC)
