– For disambiguation. See also Billy Hutchinson (rugby league). These are both English rugby union players with about 8 page views per month. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 16:40, 5 April 2024 (UTC) — Relisting. Anarchyte (talk) 07:29, 13 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Query - is there precedence for pre-schism players, before rugby union and rugby league when you just had rugby football?Fleets (talk) 18:43, 5 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
Support move to (rugby, born 1849) and (rugby, born 1856) Both of these players played before the split of rugby. Precedent for these players (as mentioned by Fleets) is for them to be just disambiguated with (rugby) as opposed to (rugby union). Rugbyfan22 (talk) 08:47, 6 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
Support per nom. Neutral on whether to use rugby union or just rugby. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:46, 9 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
Relisting comment: Rugby or rugby union? Looking through the various rugby categories shows a lack of consistency. Anarchyte (talk) 07:29, 13 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
