Well said Fergus, being exclusively involved in Rugby for so long now, it is hard to get away from the concept of balance, rugby is not a pure sport in the sense that not one biomotor quality dominates and hence we must train all qualities continually but place emphasis on certain qualities at certain times for certain individuals speed will come first but for others it will be strength, I like Damian’s approach in a previous post he mentioned if you are above the line in one biomotor quality then spend time in other areas to get them above the line as well but do not neglect your strength’s, go well, ash
