Rugby is a game played by two teams using an oval ball. Players try to score points by carrying the ball to their opponent's end of the field, or by kicking it over a bar fixed between two posts.
Training for rugby players should include cardio, strength, power, speed, agility, flexibility, core, and skill training in their workouts to ensure they are “rugby fit.”
Most of your rugby training should be quite general as the demands of rugby are very similar for all the players on the pitch. After all, no matter what position you play in, you need to be able to run, tackle, pass and catch for the duration of a game.
Squat and deadlift variations, good mornings, clean and press, push press, thrusters, bench press variations, sled-work, medicine ball throws, plyometric exercises, resisted sprinting, and sprinting over short and long distances are all common exercises in a rugby specific training program.
