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.
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.
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!

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.
