[QUOTE="goranski, post: 96521"] don't get caught up on size too much - rugby really is a game for all body shapes and sizes, don't worry too much about your first few practices or games - stick around and work hard during training and give it your all when you get on the pitch - eventually your teammates will open up and respect you for that. as far as weight training goes definitely target exercises for the shoulders, back and legs and for endurance don't do jogging - fartlek/mixed fuel running is better and more rugby specific - just run as hard as you can for a few minutes then walk/jog and then take off again and repeat as many times as you can to build up your stamina. Found this link for rugby training which is specific to your age group, however keep in mind if you're just starting out you could just do a circuit for all the muscle groups in the gym moving from station to station or machine to machine when you start out: [url="http://www.rugbycanada.ca/index.php?lang=en&page_id=459"]http://www.rugbycanada.ca/index.php?lang=en&page_id=459[/url] Good luck and most importantly Have Fun!
