Could you tell me the number of this special, or provide a link?

I do not recall any Rugby player produced by Playmobil.

I think, Mike is referring to this special...

...I am not sure though, Martin, if you are asking explicitely for a rugby (not american football) player?!

I was asking Mike about the Rubgy player that he told cachalote was freely available on eBay.

They are completely different sports, Mike, in the same way that Cricket and Baseball are completely different sports, though both involve a batter, a ball, innings, batters getting out, and running.

There are actually two different varieties of Rugby, League and Union, though this would not be evident just by looking at a player in kit.

Plus rugby players are tougher than American footballers. They don't wear all that elaborate padding despite it being a high-contact sport. :P
The balls are kinda similar in shape though.

Isn't Australian football kind of a mix of the two? No protection but played more like American football? Do they even play Australian football anymore?

They do in Australia and it's very popular.
