Please note the following are my rough notes and ideas primary presented to kick off discussion on physical conditioning for rugby. The contents are not meant as a bible on rugby training. Anyone interested in a program for rugby needs to talk to the appropriate professional so that a specific program can be developed relative to their position, age, time availability, current conditioning, training history, genetics, injuries, motivation and aspirations etc.
