I note that there are two rugby players named "Peter Ryan" with Wikipedia articles, currently named Peter Ryan (rugby union) (this article) and Peter Ryan (rugby, born 1971). It seems to me this disambiguation is inconsistent and confusing. Would it not be better for these articles to use the same form of disambiguation, i.e. either:
Unfortunately, although preferred by the naming conventions for sportspeople, I don't think the disambiguators "rugby union" and "rugby league" are helpful here; "Peter Ryan (rugby union)" could describe either player as Peter Ryan (rugby, born 1971) played both codes. (If they weren't both Australian we could perhaps have used their country of origin.)
