Infobox and lede[edit]

"and the first time" → "as well as the first time"

Background[edit]

Should probably be specified that it was to "provide a new level of professional cross-border rugby competition"
"in their respective national leagues"
negotiations between English and French clubs who withdrew from the tournament because of governance flows better if this longer part is at the end
- That part was removed prior to the publication of this full review MWright96 (talk) 16:56, 9 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Colon after "Tigers won both" for flow
- Reworded differently MWright96 (talk) 16:56, 9 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Route to the final[edit]

Subheads should be "London Wasps" and "Leicester Tigers" for parallelism

Wasps[edit]

Delink Adams Park, linked above
Link whitewash
First sentence of the third paragraph has a lot going on, can probably be split into two
- There are only two paragraphs in total in the London Wasps section MWright96 (talk) 16:56, 9 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Leicester Tigers[edit]

Delink Munster in the second sentence
Split the sentence beginning "They led Bourgoin" in half after "two conversions". Then the next sentence starts "Although Bourgoin scored 10 points", with a comma after "in the second half"
"and gain entry to the final"

Match[edit]

Pre-match[edit]

Comma after "The referee for the match was Alan Lewis"
Delink "referee" per WP:OVERLINK
Comma after "Alain Rolland and Simon McDowell"
Comma after "The fourth official was Peter Fitzgibbon"
"A total of 56,000 tickets"
Delink Alex King, linked above

First half[edit]

Pipe "penalty kick" to Penalty (rugby)

Second half[edit]

Comma after "and passed the ball to Smith"

Details[edit]

Good

Post-match[edit]

"Tigers played worse than Wasps'" → "Wasps outplayed Tigers"

References[edit]

[5] appears to be the same reference listed twice
- THey are two different versions with the second featuring fuller details of the game's officiators MWright96 (talk) 16:56, 9 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

General comments[edit]

No stability concerns in the revision history
Earwig score comes up yellow, but that's due to attributed direct quotes

All minor fixes; putting on hold for now, and ping me if there are any questions or when it's ready to be looked over again. — Ghost River 16:16, 9 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@GhostRiver: Have made changes except where I have commented MWright96 (talk) 16:56, 9 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Made one more fix myself (I meant second paragraph where I said third, but rather than instituting another back and forth). Passing now. — Ghost River 20:22, 9 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
