Who is the strongest current Rugby union/league player?

What would I have to do in order to be a scholarship or professional rugby player?

• I' m currently 19 and started playing rugby in high school. Right now I am playing football in college but miss rugby. I am still interested in getting my education, but I really would like to play rugby in the future. When I was 17, I was apart of the Pittsburgh U-19 squad and was a valuable player. I played 8 man and second row, currently im 6'4" and 280lbs because of football. But when I was rugby fit, I was 250-260lbs. I have a good work ethic, and have been told this by many coaches. I will push myself to do whatever is necessary to reach my goal. I'm interested in playing rugby professionally or being under scholarship and I am wondering what is the best way for me to get into the profession?

• Answer:

  The only way I can think is to contact RugbyUSA and speak to someone there who would know which colleges have strong rugby programs and scholarship opportunities. USA rugby has come on quite well in recent years (especially in the sevens game) and will be making a bigger push for inclusion in college sports, so do some homework and contact them. Im sure you will find someone with the answers you need
