Doubts about article

[edit]

In Andy Mitchells's 2012 book "First Elevens" [1], he states that the Robert Munro who played in the 1871 international was not the person referred to in this article. He states that in 1871, there were two pupils of this name at St Andrews University; this one, born 1839, and another, born in 1853. While the 1839 Munro left the university in 1871, the other continued until 1873 during which time he appeared regularly in the university teams. The younger Munro also entered the church, and became a noted antiquary. Not being a rugby minded person, I am reluctant to completely rewrite the article - if the present subject did not play international rugby, his work as a minister is probably not sufficient to warrant keeping a separate article. Does anyone have any thoughts? -- Daemonic Kangaroo (talk) 09:13, 11 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
