Answer 2

ive been sharing this website with a lot of people recently- like the last couple of days!  beware though- i think theres a warning saying that its for people over the age of 16... may want to check with your coach or personal trainer to modify the program if needed.

its really cool because it looks at psotion and experience, as well as where you are in the season.

Paddy,

USA RUGBY has a very good exercise routine for strength and the circuits they have created are good for your cardio and endurance...

Check it out at www.usarugby.org and click on the 'rugby fitness' link and then 'training plans.' In there (after agreeing to the waiver) you will find several links to get in shape. Scroll down to find the links, print them out and then comes the hard part... getting yourself in the gym!

Best of Luck!
