|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.

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