Question

How much do british rugby players earn per week or year? ...players for Sale, the Swansea Ospreys ...etc?

Answer 1

it varies a lot depending on the players reputation

an ex all black might earn 200,000 pound for a season

a rank novice with equal talent 50 or 60,000 - thats for the firsts team

Answer 2

Sadly far more than rugby league players. Rugby Union players earn a vast amount but spend half of their season out injured. Rugby league players are faster and fitter and only a few are injured but they get paid substantially less for a game that is a greater spectator sport and much more skilfull.
