Wales and France (i think) is a great game also...love 6 nation rugby!
 
I have never done direct neck work but I also do alot of over-head pressing which I think helps...but some of my guys do weighted neck extensions, and lots of shrugs - ive never really looked into great detail about what exercises have a direct increase in strength around the neck but im guessing the ones above would be good.

Im more of a do your core movements and you will have good overall strength to deal with what you will get on the field.

Any reason why you ask man?

I notice the players come in hard in the ruck and scrums and thought a strong neck,Traps would be something needed .

I don't know a lot about rugby union, Never had an chance to play where i come up in the the hunter NSW you had league or soccer comps on the weekends, High school played in the knockout league comp and that was about it.

I believe you have to play a game for a few years to get a true perspective of a sport.

They have a district Union comp up here, The nearest team to me is 30min away i will go and watch a game next year see what it's like at this level compared to league, There is a lot of maori and indigenous players in the cairns district league comp, Imagine there is even more maori players in the Union comp.

Fadi was 5'4 and 90kg, he looked too skinny to me though :D

Mate you want to be about 80 minimum. 90 would be good.

Oh and hang out with bigger friends.

Normally from what I know of they play sevens comps as pre-season things for the 15's rugby ....as a warm up to the season! - never heard of a full season 7's comp.

Fair enough mate - seeing as though your fairly short for a rugby player then you really need to focus on getting as strong and big as possible - will be your only chance against the big boys!

Yea, being short doesn't suit a rugby player. Im trying to get as big as possible - i think i started too late though :( If i get to 5'11 im happy.
 
I would say most rugby players are between 5'11-6'1 - im right between 5'11-6 foot - would like to be at a lean playing weight of 105kgs next year.
 
your a machine! 5'11 is a great height - especially at 100kg!

Just curios if you know some union players lifting stats. Wondering how much those props would lift - a lot.
 
mmm have not really looked to much mate! - I saw a Syd uni prop box squating 300kgs - pretty crazy.

I would say avg weights for a prop would be like 230-250 deadlift (not that they really do them that much), 220-250 squat, 140-180 bench - they are the avg numbers ive heard from sort of super 14 level....but everyone is diff and props are not always going to be the strongest dudes in the team.
 
Generally they would be, there would be occasions when there not, but usually they would be. I would say they do explosive lifts like cleans ect.

Funny guys.
 
Brad Thorne from the All Blacks (former Bronco, Qld player) is one of the strongest mofos in world rugby I think!
