LIST: 6 international rugby players who had jobs outside the sport
Not all rugby players have had it easy. Here are some of the interesting jobs done by rugby players in recent years...
1. Liam Williams
This is the picture that illustrates the heights Williams has scaled to reach international rugby, starting off as a scaffolder. It wasn't work for the faint-hearted, with Williams rigging scaffolding "over the top of a blast furnace, 300 feet from the ground".
2. Jeremy Guscott
Did a series of jobs, including a bricklayer, bus driver and a public relations role with British Gas, before the game turned professional. Since hanging up his boots, Guscott works full-time for the BBC as a pundit, writes a regular column for The Sunday Times and is a partner in a leading property service management company in Bath.
3. Karl Tu'inukuafe
Moustachioed man mountain prop Karl Tu'inukuafe has gone from 27-stone nightclub bouncer to Test tyro. He only made his Super Rugby debut last year but has already racked up 13 caps.
4. Semesa Rokoduguni
A lance corporal and British Army soldier, Semesa Rokoduguni made his professional debut at the stunning age of 25. Known as Roko, the Fijian-born English international plays for Bath Rugby Club, where he is known for his speed and ability to score awe-inspiring tries.
DID YOU KNOW: He was deployed to Afghanistan in 2011 as part of Operation Herrick
5. Gary Armstrong
He was a long-haul lorrydriver as well as a snapping terrier of a scrum-half who took contact unflinchingly. He was a Lion in 1989 and was regarded as one of the best No 9s in the world in the mid-90s while still working gruelling hours.
6. Luke Romano (builder)
Considered as a key element of the 2015 Rugby World Cup Championship team, the All Blacks forward made his professional club debut at 25 with the Crusaders. Extremely powerful, he had previously been a qualified builder.
DID YOU KNOW: He has a pair of the biggest feet in New Zealand rugby (size 17).

- Jordie Barrett over Damian de Allende is far from being correct. The hype around Dupont is also overreaching, he's probably 4th in the world and has been since the 2023 WC. He also avoids certain matchups which is strange. The rest of the list is pretty good apart from minor subjective biases.JasonMarlow16-09-2026
