Article new and long enough.
Article cited to reliable sources; AGF on book sources.
No signs of close para-phrasing or plagiarism.
Hook properly cited in article, although I think the hook is rather boring. Can I suggest an alternative:

ALT1 ... that rugby union footballer Keith Davis was awarded his Test cap in 2010, 58 years after first playing for the All Blacks?

Good to go, with a preference for ALT1. -- Daemonic Kangaroo (talk) 06:43, 26 May 2013 (UTC)

That alternative hook is much better! I spent ages trying to think of something interesting, but your idea is great. - Shudde ^talk 06:55, 26 May 2013 (UTC)
