[QUOTE="norcalbuff, post: 570568, member: 45734"] Dan Lyle, one of the best US players of all time, played professionally (and did quite well) after taking up rugby at age 23. But you would have to be a very good athlete and it's only possible in certain positions like the back row. There is zero chance of someone taking up rugby in their 20s and becoming good enough at a position like flyhalf to play professionally as both the range of skills you need and the instincts/ability to read the game you need have to be developed from a young age.
