Royal Engineers or Blackheath?

There appears to be a slight contradiction... the Royal Engineers article states that Charles Arthur Crompton and Charles Sherrard were representives of The Army/Royal Engineers, whereas the players' own articles and the 1870–71 Home Nations rugby union matches article states that they were representatives of Blackheath F.C.. The 1871–72 Home Nations rugby union matches article (Francis d'Aguilar, & Charles Sherrard of England, and Frederick T. Maxwell, & Henry Renny-Tailyour of Scotland), and 1873–74 Home Nations rugby union matches article (William Stafford of England), specifically identify the rugby footballers representing The Royal Engineers rather than a club side. Did Charles Arthur Crompton and Charles Sherrard play for The Royal Engineers or Blackheath, or both? Best Regards. DynamoDegsy (talk) 11:01, 2 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps the section in the Royal Engineers article needs clarification. The article says: "The Army were represented in the very first international by two members of the Royal Engineers, both playing for England, Lieutenant Charles Arthur Crompton RE and Lieutenant Charles Sherrard RE." This is correct, they were Royal Engineers and I think the sentence is referring to the Army and the Royal Engineers as institutions rather than rugby sides. However, as mentioned, I think it could be clarified. Both players certainly played for Blackheath and in my sources Sherrard was a representative of West Kent when he won his second cap. However, playing for one side did not prohibit a player playing for another and it is very possible they both also played for the Royal Engineers rugby side as well.Kwib (talk) 12:24, 2 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
