In comparison to American football players and soccer players they certainly are not over paid but for the top players its considered that they may be under paid
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.

J-League Super Top Players happened in 1994.
Super League players earn on average £50,000 - £100,000 a year in accordance to club, skill, experience ect. If you are internationally capped your wages will rise closer to the £100,000 area. Young players and academy players can be payed as little as £10,000. However Rugby Union players earn £50,000 - £300,000 a year roughly, and even more. Hence Kyle Eastmond leaving to Rugby Union club Bath, where his wages will be significantly better than at Saint. Saints being a top flight club, most players will be earning circa £80,000 - £100,000 per year.
between £19,000 - £40-000 a year, The ruby elite will get paid near the £100,000 a year mark, but you could probably count them on your two hands. The rugby elite will also earn more through sponsorship etc. Bear in mind that in Ruby League there is a cap on what a squad of players can be paid, the cap is up to 1 million pounds a year, but take into consideration that there are sometimes up to thirty players in a Rugby League squad.
Compared to Barclays Premier League players they get paid very little. A top player would be on maybe £1000 a week and most players would be on £100-300 a week. Most of the players still have full time jobs.
The best rugby player in the world of 2012 is.... Dylan Hartley
The top rugby players earn around 500k per year
