Rugby Players on Twitter

Rugby Players on Twitter

Twitter has become something of a social phenomenon. Whilst it may not be everybody’s cup of tea (then again, neither is tea) for many people it is in an interesting place to talk, to ‘crowd source’ and more. It is also a place where you can see what rugby players have to say about whatever they want to talk about.

There are a number of rugby players on Twitter, from the big to the small, the interesting to the boring. But this page isn’t about judging them or ranking them.

Instead we simply wanted to gather together a list of professional rugby players on Twitter, Welsh and other, less fortunate nationalities, for people to follow if they want to – or ignore if they don’t.  I haven’t ‘filtered’ any that don’t post/rarely post – so not all will be very active.

The Twitter Rugby Player List

Currently there are 205 Pro and ex-pro rugby players listed
