Here is a training program from the Waratah's Academy.
Warathas Acadmey Training ProgramYou are about to see a workout that I picked up whilst working with the NSW Waratah's Academy squad.
The game of rugby requires players to not only be strong but also have the strength endurance to complete
repeated maximal efforts under fatigue. It is for this reason that elements of this workout are done at
near maximal capacity. If you can not complete the weights that are set in this workout then reduce all
weighted exercises by 20% or whatever % that is required for you to safely complete all exercises.
You are to complete each exercise back to back, at the completion of all ten you are to rest for 90 seconds
before completing the next set. There are four sets in total.
Complete ten reps for each exercise:
1. 80kg Bench Press
2. Chin Ups
3. Hand Clap Push Ups
4. 25kg (each) Prone Row
5. Dips
6. 60kg Squats
7. 40kg Upright Row
8. 12.5kg Bicep Curls
9. 10kg Inverted Flys
10. Vertical Jumps

This is another new idea, a training video. Each week we will post something new to try in your offseason training. This week video is an intro into the agility ladder.
Not everyone has an agility ladder, but one can be made very cheap and easy. All you need is either chalk or tape that can be put on mostly any floor and be removed just as easy.
