Why it works
Three physical qualities that decide games
Contact strength: win the tackle, ruck and scrum without technique breaking down under fatigue.
Repeated sprint ability: sprint, recover and sprint again across 80 minutes, not just one fast 40 m.
Durability under load: joint mobility and control under repeated contact, to reduce the soft-tissue injuries that keep players out for weeks.
Forwards and backs have different needs
- ForwardsMaximal strength, scrum-specific power, conditioning through multiple phases
- BacksAcceleration, top-end speed and change of direction under pressure
