Can skinny kids play rugby?

Posted at: 2014-07-08 
I'm a senor in High School and my friend wants me to join the rugby team with him. I've never played rugby in my life and I'm 6'2 150 pounds, so not really built for rugby. I've done the swim team for 3 years, so I'm pretty tone, but I don't ever lift or anything. Should I join? I'd probably mostly be on the bench right?I'm a senor in High School and my friend wants me to join the rugby team with him.

Sure you can play, there are different positions on the team, sometimes they need a husky tough guy who can stand his ground but they also need guys who can run fast and run around and between other guys. Some of the big husky guys aren't as fast or nimble.

Yeah, bulk up a bit and play 13, 14 or 15.

Yes. I am 5'4 and 130 pounds and play rugby

Absolutely mate. Obviously it's difficult without knowing your attributes skill wise but judging off your build, I don't see why you can't play on the wing if you have a bit of speed. As with everything else, you will get out what you put in.
