Steve Munro (born 11 June 1958) is a former Scotland international rugby union player. He played as a Wing.[2]
Munro was described as a fast and powerful winger.[3]
He played for Ayr.[4] He was Scotland's leading try scorer in the 1978-79 season with 36 tries, all bar one try scored with Ayr.[5]
He moved on to play for West of Scotland.[6]
He played for Glasgow District[7] against New Zealand in 1979, then for the Whites Trial side on 7 January 1984 in a 21 - 3 win,[8] and for Combined Scottish Districts on 1 March 1986 against South of Scotland.[9]
He was first noticed by Scotland Schools and capped by them.[5]
He was capped by Scotland 'B' to play Ireland 'B' on 1 December 1979 and played in the Scotland 'B' side against France 'B' in the spring of 1980.[4]
