How big do you have to be to play rugby?

Posted at: 2014-07-08 
i'm 16, 5,11", 130 lbs. I could run pretty fast. i know rugby is a contacts sport and i am skinny. so would i get seriously hurt if i play junior boys rugby in high school.

It depends. There's different positions in rugby and different positions means different roles. I suggest a half or back, since your fast and you don't want to take many hits. These roles belong to you front rowers, the big people, who can go through and make hit-ups. You might get hurt but it's rugby, who doesn't. It's a contact sport. Hope you do well and be safe. GO THE BRUMBIES AND THE STORMS !
