I put this post out there to see what Rugby USA does for workouts.
This is not a program I would suggest to ANY rugby player, it reminds me more of a crossfit workout than a rugby specific workout program.

Take a quick look at at this training program.  It is designed for football but football is based on Rugby so it can be of some benefit to rugby players.  Anyway just check it out, it is many times better than a CrossFit style workout.
