Why working out is important for rugby

Rugby involves strength, power and stamina to endure the full 80 minutes of straight gameplay

It’s a tackle-based sport which requires strength to take down opponents bigger than you.

Strength and power are also needed to push players off the ball when there is a ruck.

Stamina needed since the fields are 100 meters long and rugby is a fast-paced sport throughout the entire gameplay.

Other than being able to dominate the field with your strength it can also prevent injuries, your muscles almost becoming a shield against hits.

There is no equipment in rugby pretty much making your muscles the equipment

Explosiveness can help when jumping up the grab the ball
