Is it too late for me to become a Professional Rugby player?

I am a 21yo guy and have not played a game of rugby since I was 11 but recently I have been really regretting not keeping up with it.

Realistically is it too late for me to start training again and get into atleast Super 14 by the time I am 24 - 25?

Thanks.

Is it too late for me to become a Professional Rugby player?getting late

I asked myself the same question over and over when i went back to rugby 3 years ago when i was 20, I had stopped playing at 18 and had seen a lot of my old team mates get contracts.

If you are good enough it is not impossible but also requires a great deal of luck too, Once you are enjoying the game good things will happen but making it pro might be a step too far, most pros are signed at the age of 20 or 21 and have represented their countries through most age groups, then again there are fantastic players who will never make pro. If you have it in your head to make pro and fail then you'll be disappointed, set your sights lower to start with, your first goal should be to give it your best at every match, but you may have to make the low team first. Impress and move to the next level, you need to be a "legend" on your teams first team someone that the others can look to as a game breaker. Your team also needs to be a high level amateur team where players are recruited from. If your team plays in a really low league then there isnt much chance of you being noticed.....
