Image showing team lineups is incorrect and should be updated

In the Match Details section, the image showing the team lineups has Kolisi where du Toit should be, and vice versa. Kolisi is the open-side flanker, du Toit the blind side. I suspect the creator of the image (PeeJay2K3) was confused by the fact that Kolisi wears the number 6 shirt, which in most countries (but not South Africa) is worn by the blind-side.

Is this an unusual level of editing for an upcoming event?

The C of E, is the current level of editing any concern for this appearing as scheduled for DYK? I'm supposed to be checking for stability, and of course normally what I see is a few scattered edits at this point, but maybe this is just the usual for an upcoming major sporting event? --valereee (talk) 11:07, 31 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Valereee: The editing level is OK but we really do need to ensure that any unsourced edits are removed quickly (as I just did with that unsourced history section) because there are those at DYK who will yank it for that without looking at the context of this being a major world event in sports so it will get a lot of high traffic. I think we just need to keep an eye on it tomorrow. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 11:10, 31 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The C of E, thank you! That was my feeling, that this probably wasn't unusual and that there were multiple people keeping on top of it! --valereee (talk) 11:44, 31 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
