rugby is still an amateur game in US officially. however, this does not stop top clubs offering top jobs and cash inducements to top players.
The pay depends on the level of Rugby. In the USA the game is amatuer I think so the domestic players are not paid. In the Pro Leagues in Europe for example they are paid less than soccer players with good players getting between 50000 and 100000 pounds a year to play. Extra money comes from sponsorship and a salary cap paid to international players along with any bonuses from club or country.

Soccer in the US is becoming increasingly popular. Soon soccer players could be paid as much as basketball players.

Players have all their expenses paid by their Federation.
For the England national men's team, the players are paid for playing, but the vast majority of them chose to donate their pay to charity. The women's team are also paid, although far less, but they are not expected to donate their earnings as they are not paid very much from their league teams.
