Since the dawn of professional rugby, players have become increasingly bigger, faster and stronger.

Armed with this information, players and coaches will identify and adopt the best possible conditioning options. The accompanying DVD provides a visual presentation of key tests, exercises and drills for improving performance. The footage demonstrates both individual workouts and team workouts employing functional training methods that emphasize rugby-specific conditioning.
