everybody can play rugby. you may not play much in a game until you fix your weak points (tackling and strength) but the only way to learn is to join a club a practice your *** off. hit the gym if you can and if not take up running and start doing push ups, sit ups and pull ups. also do a wall sit to strengthen your legs ( put your back against a wall an slide down the wall so your knees are at 90 degrees and you back is still against the wall. "sit" there until you can't anymore. then do it again. you will start learning to play wing and as your skills improve you may be moved to other positions

Listen Kid it ain't the size of the dog in the fight, Its the size of the fight in the dog, You dig what I'm saying, first of all If you got heart and determination and a high tolerance for pain, you go far. Get out there and give it a try and when you get hit if it hurts suck it up and get back in there, that's heart. Strength and all that other stuff will come with time. Try a non-forward position. Good luck kid you'll be fine.

You dont need to be strong at all to enjoy playing rugby. When i first started 5 years ago i was 13 and had no muscles whatsoever. As time progressed you understand the game and realise that theres more to it than being strong. And as for tackling, its all about confidence. Once you have mastered it, it feels brilliant when you nail some kid on the field. If you are small, fast and agile, i would recommed definately being in the back line, either scrum half or winger even. But yeah, get out there and enjoy the best sport ever dude!

yeah, sounds like u could be ur teams scrumhalf. thats the good thing about rugby, theres space for everyone -even chubby kids are quite necessary in the front row. about scrumhalves, if you saw the latest world cup on tv u probably saw these guys are quiet normal. agustin pichot from argentina is quiet small and one of the best players in his position. also, france's elissalde isnt big and hes a good player. so go ahead and kick some as.s!! by the way, scrumhalf is one of the coolest positions in rugby in my view, together with full backs.

Of course you can... you will need to learn to tackle, and strength is not important at all. If you learn good technique and work hard anyone can do it. You could play wing, but again, you'd need to learn to tackle

i am not sure what position you can play, but i know you have train yourself to be tough to play because if you are running a ball, you must be able to receive a tackle and not break too many bones. (rugby don't have pats and stuff to protect you.)

yh sure you could play rugby, my brother is 15 also, although he is the exact opposite of you [very strong and 6feet 2 inches] he plays in the scrum!! if you look at the irish rugby team photoes, there is a very short player called Stringer!! I don't know his position but he contributes well to a game. You might want to consider building up some strength, it will help!! xx

wing, but work on your tackling or maybe even halfback depending on how good you can pass and kick a rugby ball
