YES YES YES PLAY RUGBY FOR SURE....you will absolutely love it. I think it is sooo much better than football. A lot less stopage in play. At your heigh and weight I could see you being a back if you are a fast runner. If not then you could try to go for hooker. I've played for about 4 years now and I can't get enough of it

yeah, go for rugby. You will enjoy the carnage. If you're just starting out, play at wing, it is one of the lesser complex and involved positions, so you can get a good feel for the game and the rules. When you understand it more, choose your position from there

rugby is the way forward. but with those stats i would be looking to go into the backs, unless the pack is small. (backs have more fun). or perhaps flanker?

I played football and wrestled all through my high school years and loved it, but now being in college I miss them so I decided to give rugby a try. This is my third year in college and I just started playing about 2 weeks ago. Rugby is so much more fun than football if you ask me. The hits are great and it is just so much more fast paced. I'd say go for it.

Personally (apart from lifting) I think Rugby is the best sport in the world! DO NOT COMPARE RUGBY TO NFL!!
I'm from New Zealand (if you haven't noticed) home of the All Blacks! and in NZ we would usually start playin' rugga at the age of 3-5 lol.
Yes, play it, breath it, taste it, LOVE IT!Strength is more useful than weakness.

To be honest, unlike american football there arent really any positions where you just get to hit people and not run. If you love to tackle i would suggest going back row (flanker or number 8). Maybe start of as a blindside flanker where theres generally less work involved. If you really dislike running then maybe going hooker might be better, as long as you have a strong neck.Originally Posted by Rai
Im playing flanker this year and i absolutely love it, jsy love nailin unsuspecting flyers.
just in case you need any help with the rules or positions this link should help mate.

The front row players are the huge guys (these guys are the ones involved with scrummagging and do most of the tackling.) and the back rowers are the speedy gonzalez people with all the fancy footwork...so you can judge your position from this. hehe.

rugby is hands down the greatest sport ever created. As for position it will depend on the size of the rest of your team but you would probably end up being flanker or 8 man unless all of the forwards are already significantly bigger than you. It is really the only sport that can incorporate people of every size into a team. Also now I think football is stupid whenever I watch it, play stops every 6 seconds and people run out of bounds on purpose? Thats nonsense.

Just cos you're big it doesnt make you a forward, I'm in the top 5 biggest players on my 20 man squad and I play fullback.
