hey there, i'm sorry i'm new here and have posted twice in two days but i think its a great site with a great community so i hope you can help.
i'm playing 7 at the moment at u14 level where there is such a range of sizes , personally i'm 5 ft 7 ish and 50-60 kg . i am a mainly defensive player that tackles loads , how ever i'm looking to be able to make bigger hits any advice on that ?
i often steal ball at the ruck and believe that is a main part of my game , however in training i'm a large presence in attack scoring 4+ tries a session braking through tackles, offloading and using speed and foot work to beat players but i seem to crumble in attack in a game struggling to get my hands on the ball,, i would really appreciate any advice on a flankers role in attack and any advice on which lines i should be trying to run.
i also started weight training with a irfu program for young players i found on the internet i use small light weights (nothing more than 20 kg) for any of the exercises and am trying to increase my fitness ( i have been using an exercise bike) and agility/ power , any drills for these would be much appreciated. i can pass confidently off both hands as well, finally i never practice kicking as i believe it is not necessary for my position should i start to ?
thank you in advance i am desperate to become the best rugby player possible and would love to persue a rugby career and train 5/6 times a week including club, school and my own personal training .
