Robert Smith (rugby union, born 1870)

Robert Echlin Smith (12 December 1870 — 2 February 1904) was an Irish international rugby union player.

A Dublin-born physician, Smith played rugby for Lansdowne and debuted for Ireland in 1892, playing as a forward against England at Manchester, which remained his only international cap.

Smith died in 1904 from injuries sustained when in an attempt to catch a pony he was kicked in the face.
