What is the average size of a professional rugby player? |
What is the average size of a professional rugby player? Depends by Position. Front Rows (Props and Hooker) are generally shorter with large, powerful legs. Usually, in the area of 5'8, 220lbs. Second Rows (Locks) tend to be the most well built players in terms of overall size. They have long, muscular legs along with great upper body strength. Usually from about 6'0 to 6'6, and once again, in the area of 220lbs. Most locks are about 6'1-6'2 however. Flankers are generally shorter, but well built with great lower body strength. In the area of 5'8-5'10 usually, with a weight of 200lbs. Number 8 (Back Row) is usually the tallest player, standing at LEAST 6'1, most are around 6'4-6'6, and weigh in at about 210lbs, though some may be heavier depending on their build. Backs are pretty similar, Centres and Wings are shorter and leaner, at 5'6 to 6'0, weighing in anywhere from 150 to 180lbs. Fullbacks, Scrumhalf and Flyhalf are generally a bit larger (but shorter), at 5'5 to 5'9, weighing in from 160 to 190lbs. These numbers are the averages of the players from my team, and estimates from some professional teams. However, depending on skill level, sizes will vary greatly.They are all sizes. Bigger guys play in the pack, smaller guys play with the backs. In the forwards or tight 5 plus break aways about 6'- 6'6 and 100-130 kg (X by 2.2 for pounds). Backs lighter from 80 -95 kg, generally fairly tall but halfs are shorter. 5-6 ft play rugby for northernlakes warriors about 90/100 kg 220 pounds |
