FAQs

Do rugby players belong in the same athlete category as American football players?

Yes. Rugby league and rugby union players share this category with American football and association football players, by shared lineage.

This Football Codes subcategory groups athletes who competed in one of the goal-line or in-goal team sports descended from historical football codes: American football, association football, rugby league and rugby union. Quarterbacks, forwards, midfielders, halfbacks and every other position in these four codes belong here together, while athletes of court or bat-and-ball team sports are grouped elsewhere in this tree.
