WARRIORS RUGBY 2017PERSONALIZED NUTRITION AND FITNESS PLAN


TrainingFocus

1) Power. Front Row players are the strongest in the team, true team TANKS. They dominate opponent offenses and deny

them access across the gain line. Modern players are heavy CROSSFIT trainers, strong across the board.

2) Technique. Superior body positions, understanding of technical rules and reliability are crucial to the modern Front Row

player. They use their superior skills and techniques to dominate les skilled players, focus on scrum, lineout & breakdown

3) Endurance. Being big physical units they are expected to be front and center in the “winning the contact” element of

play, they must be both strong and able to keep operating continuously. Don’t ignore cardio fitness

Characteristics

Character: tight forwards provide the base of the team,

they anchor all Set Piece pay (Scrum, Lineout etc.) and

provide the majority of the power to clear and secure

good breakdown ball. Defensively they deny the

opposition access in and around the breakdown. Front

Row forwards are immensely strong, but should have

good basic passing and catching skills; and exceptional

tackling ability. Front row forwards are the TANKS of the

team, taking the hits and dishing them out bigger & harder

Skills

1) Offensive Skills. Impact carries from close to the

breakdown, the forward attacking line in SHOTGUNS and

basis of all POD attacks. Get front foot ball over gain line

2) Defensive Skills. The teams IRON CURTAIN around the

breakdown, defending all direct attacks. The best players

can also defend well in the backline and drive opponents

backwards to force them to lose the following breakdown

3) Dominate. They set the attitude of the team, no

backward step, no fear, no surrender… direct frontal attack

Dane Coles (NZ) 6’0” 240lbThe model of the modern “Hooker”,

combines traditional strength and impact

with high mobility and exceptional passing

and running skills. Can tackle ferociously at

the fringes of the breakdown, but can also

be found scoring on the wing.

Examples to Study

Augustin Crevy (Argentina) 5’11” 243lbInspirational leader and tireless ball carrier

for the Pumas. A huge presence at the

scrum who can punish opposing teams if

they expose even the smallest weakness in

their technique. A direct and devastating

ball carrier around and over the breakdown

Bismarck du Plessis (SA) 6’2” 251lbA front row player with the agility and the

technique of a Loose Forward, can

dominate at the scrum or lineout, but can

also operate around the field like a

defensive No6 or at the breakdown like and

extra No7. Versatile, mobile and aggressive
