Question

Does any body know how much rugby union players get paid?

Answer 1

not that much, only around 4 5 hundred a week, they get more from sponsors

Answer 2

varies from country to country

Answer 3

Not very much about 4-5 hundred pounds

Answer 4

Not as much as footballers for sure and they work much harder.

Answer 5

I understand ODriscoll gets 400,000 euro pa and most interprovincials would earn at least 100,000 plus sponsorship in IRELAND.

Answer 6

They dont get as much as football players do.

It varies as well from team to team & country to country.

I know that the Neath & Swansea Ospreys have just signed 2 Welsh internationals namely Mike Phillips From the Cardiff Blues & Ian Gough from Newport Gwent Dragons. Mike will be paid £80K for 2 seasons & Ian has signed for 3 years for £150K

The Welsh Regions can only spend 2.6 Million a season due the charter that was drawn up between the four regions when they went to Regional rugby 4 years ago.

Answer 7

Far too much for the amount pof time they are out injured. They seem to play a game and then be injured with the odd exception.
