Compound lifts are key to rugby training:
Squats, deadlifts, benchpress. Build your workouts around those three movements, and you'll be grand.


I wrote a post a few years ago about training for rugby, you can find it here:

An easy to follow program is Wendler 5/3/1 BBB. As mentioned above the compound lifts are best to focus on but just be sure to have someone who knows what they are talking about to teach you the lifts. Add in some METCONs, sprints and Kettle bell work and you'll be on the right track.
