Most Unions 8 years onward. However, there are age limitations set and many unions consider it inappropriate to allow contact games unless the player has exceed their 7 birthday. Thr rules of non contact are variable as schools for students from the age of 11 allow contact fully, mini Rugby disallows hand offs to the head and neck area, scrums are uncontested, line out do not allow the ball to be thrown over the top but muct land in the boady of the line. Contact is considered the touch rugby as well

Tennis, rugby, or football.
at the age of 14 in king Edward school
It's fun. You run lots and throw a ball around. When I was a kid I loved it. When people start getting heavy, about age 14 and you play full on rugby union then tackling gets sore. Until then it's a blast.
Bryan Habana started Rugby at age 14 at King Edwards School in Johannesburg, South Africa. He started playing for the under 15 4th team as a scrum half.
full time job at age 18
You are in the latter end of the development age group but it is possible to go on from 17 to be a very good player - you need to make the effort and start getting physically fit and join a rugby club - its tough to start off at this age as many have been playing since they were in their early teens and even younger. Match fitness is essential before you take to the full match game
as old as the doctor will let you
There is no standard age, however you rarely see a professional rugby player over the age of 35-40.
hard to judge....considering the amount of population england has, most kids play football from an early age as this is more popular. Living in england myself, i find some kids i know often convert to playing rugby after getting tired/bored of football at around secondary school age. still football is played far more by kids at the weekends...
You can start drawing Social Security benefits as early as age 62, but the amount will be reduced if you start before your full retirement age. Your full retirement age is between 66 and 67, depending on the year you were born. Waiting until after your full retirement age can increase your benefits.
Depends on what age you are
