Warm Down Stretching for 10 minutes all major muscle groups particularly glutes, hamstrings, quadriceps, calves, groin and hip flexors.

In a New Zealand study Bird et al, , the injury rate was cited as Adherence to a year round strength and conditioning program. Vigilance of officials to foul play and severe penalties for instigators of foul play. Education of players for the laws of the game. Use of protective gear at practice and especially during games.
Or pack uncontested scrums to minimise any injury potential. From a psychological perspective, the pressure on these young men to perform when they put on the All Black jersey is pretty high. The success of the team over the last years means that whoever puts on the jersey is expected to be at his best, mentally and physically. People might say that many jerseys have that much power, and there may well be. But I suppose the key thing for us is that the legacy of the All Blacks is a huge motivator, one that brings with it huge expectations from not only friends and family, but from the nation as a whole.
The environment and the legacy of the jersey do that. However, for the return to peak performance post-injury, every injured player has different mental barriers to overcome. Along with our physiotherapist, Peter Gallagher, we just try to make sure that the rehabilitation and the return to playing is lighthearted.
We try to bring a fun aspect to it and try to relax them a little. And when it comes to getting back in the game, well, not many players can return to peak performance after a decent layoff. Richie McCaw could play great having not played for 12 weeks, while other players need four or five games to be back to where they were.
We ask nothing of the players—other than to work their asses off and sacrifice everything for the performance on Saturday. We have to win every week. They have to be peaking every single time they play.
And what I ask of the boys every time we train is no different. We need to be getting the most out of every season, every day, every week and every month because we need to win every Saturday.

Taking a team back to basics, even international teams is vital for making sure that the critical skills needed to win matches are up to standard. Scotland is also not afraid to integrate technology into their routines with performance analysts using drones to record the training sessions.
Dominant is the word that best defines the All Blacks, who are undoubtedly the best rugby union side of the professional era. The only team with a winning record against every other nation, New Zealand went unbeaten the whole of , and they had 18 consecutive test victories from to a Tier 1 joint world record.
The All Blacks also have a record match winning streak, which they achieved between and Unsurprisingly, they are currently number 1 in the world and are the reigning, back-to-back Rugby World Cup champions.
He, along with his teammates, have benefited dramatically from simple, yet physically demanding training regimens, which often require the use of resistance bands to add an extra layer of challenge to each exercise.
These types of exercise also add size, which as we mentioned, is essential as well, especially for smaller players. And as any rugby player at every level would attest, size, speed, and strength are vital for rugby success. They have been ranked as high as number 2 in the world, and have never dropped lower than 6th. They then do skill development drills to improve their mechanics, techniques and defensive game. Finally, the Wallabies end their training sessions with a series of games, which they play for specific time periods.
Recovery is just as crucial for the players, who gather for a post-workout dip in the team pool after a hard day of training. For a nation so small, Fiji has quite a rugby team, and they are currently ranked 10th in the world.
Yet, for the international tournaments, the players come home, and The Flying Fijians have nonetheless been able to put out competitive teams. Their success, in many ways, seems surprising, especially since they do not have the same vast resources available to teams from larger nations. But really, it is just a testament to the hard work put forth by their players, led by the ageless veteran Talemaitoga Tuapati. One routine that the Flying Fijians have grown accustomed to doing is marching up Sigatoka, a near-vertical sand dune overlooking vast Fijian pastures.
The players march up as a team, like brothers-in-arms in a scrum looking to engage their opponents for ball possession.
This particular routine develops both cardiovascular endurance and leg strength as trekking up a steep sand dune is no easy task.
