Question

How much does a proffesinal rugby player get payed?

Answer 1

I think the average in the Guinness Premiership is something like £70'000 a year + bonuses for winning. The highest paid position is tighthead prop. Some of the overseas players get paid much more, like Carl Hayman is being paid something like £500'000 over three years for the Newcastle Falcons. I think the England international team players are on £100'000 a year + bonuses for every game won, and for positions in the 6 Nations, World Cup etc.

Answer 2

less than English Premier Soccer Players

Answer 3

2 to 3 thousand doalrs per match
