A good swathe are lesbians, it has to be said. Probably 20% at least.
I would say another portion are so sport/career orientated, they have little time for men, dating and put the whole relationship, having kids thing on the back burner. Rugby is a team sport, so if you play, you tend to have a lot going on socially as a substitute.
As for the men they do date - maybe not elite men, but some will be men that are knowledgeable about the game and maybe played to a decent level themselves, but couldn't make a career out of it. Lad I went to school with played professionally until he was 21 but career fizzled out. He then went to work for his Dad building/maintaining private swimming pools probably with a view to taking over by now.
Most tend to be these wealthy, middle class types - University Rowers, etc. Family business to fall back on. In most sports you need wealth in order to be self-indulgent. A lot of people can't afford to be self-indulgent. Men's Football kind of bucks that trend, because it has such a vast infrastructure and opportunity to play at grassroots levels, schools, etc with scouting always going on.
Still big, athletic blokes in most cases from a sporting background.
It's like the woman I mentioned before that called Thai men "hobbits" when she holidayed there. She certainly didn't see these men as dating material.

Yep, I know a few rugby lesbians – most have dated guys in the past .. But I certainly think in terms of getting yourself an absolute powerhouse of a partner – with granite quads, bigger than your waist, and a cool personality – women's rugby might be the best bet .. And you know, if you play-wrestle, they're not going to roll onto their back and flutter their eyelashes – they'll maul you and have no issues with it.
I love the female swimmer physique too, but they've always got boyfriends .. Bobsleigh doesn't get much love/funding in the UK, but those girls are machines .. Another case where photos don't come close to doing them justice .. A lot of these girls blow female bodybuilders out the water, in terms of strength and power
