Forearm fracture and plate removal

I recently fractured both bones in my forearm playing rugby and had two stainless steel plates installed during surgery the following day.
My questions is: Is plate removal in my situation wise and when should it be done?
Should I wait until the plates are removed to play rugby?

    I have a metal plate on my ulna which wraps around the end of the arm. I am having constant pain from it and will have it removed. However, I am wondering what type of complications could happen. My doctor is very good and went through some of them but how often can any of them happen.
