Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Great Overview
Great detail of drills, both for indiviuals and teams. Good overview of how to bring together the overall ideas of rugby-specific fitness. But a little short on specific workout regimines.

Some of the conditioning things are a little dated, but the sport specific drills are well worth the purchase of this book.
