Exactly how big does one need to be in order to play rugby?

As in, I'm 5'10 and 155lbs. Would they let me on the field?

I played mostly flyhalf and sometimes full at 6' 175 or so. Our Scrum half was the smallest guy on the team at about 5'8 150 or so.

I wouldn't let 5'10 and 155 stop you from trying it. In the backfield speed, endurance, and ball handling ability are more important than size. If it turns out you like the game and culture you will probably want to do some extensive training, especially in the off-season which can lead to more muscle and more weight.
