4 out of 5 stars Great Overview   January 10, 2007
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

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.


4 out of 5 stars Good for the drills alone   January 9, 2007
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

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

Very pleased. It's modern, cmprehensive, and sophisticated.
Excellent training programs that take a player from the ground up to full competition. Especially liked the statistics on what world class players perform on certain drills and lifts.

An excellent book for players and coaches alike. Luger and Cook provide drills for individual fitness training as well as multi player drills for practice. Excellent emphasis on overall fitness. A must to every player looking to improve and every coach wanting to make his players better.
