11 rugby stars who played for football academies

STRIKERS:

Danny Care (Sheffield Wednesday): The England scrum-half, who used to play in the same youth side as Jamie Vardy, will look to get in behind for this XI.

Danny Cipriani (QPR): The centre forward played for Queens Park Rangers juniors and nearly joined Readings’ youth academy before deciding on rugby as his sport of choice. In recent years, Cipriani has tested the football waters with Colorado Rapids and MK Dons interested in him.
