As I try to get more and more involved in various aspects of our sport I find myself wondering if the constant problems I face and see are the same the around the rugby universe...i know this may open a can of worms so i'll try and keep it to the main 1 or 2 specifics that I experience/see personally...

As a player:
- How to personally develop and improve rugby skills when "out of the system" e.g. not part of an academy, a traditional rugby school, or feeder clubs to professional teams
- Learning the correct gym/conditioning methods to compliment and help the improvement in rugby skills
- The language barrier
- How to effectively pass information to youth players coming through
- When to push players and when to hold back - especially the younger ones
- How to help players understand food choices for improving their game e.g. pre/post match, etc
- Finding people to get involved with the club and help with the myriad of tasks
- Maintain playing membership across all levels but especially junior ranks and womens
