Hey everyone, I attended the Queens Rugby Club training session tonight. Originally intended to watch and do a couple of drills, ended up doing 50%-60%, tapped out of the tackles and scrums to be safe. I want to keep going, but I’m in my 40’s and not worked out much, definitely feeling it in my body tonight. I played in PE in secondary school, but I’m definitely lacking in knowledge!

I’ll most likely be a forward based on my size (220lbs 5’9) but I don’t know my specific position yet.

Any advice on working out routines to help me get stronger and suggestions on what to focus on when I’m not at practice?

I’m also a sweater, what material do you recommend for playing? Definitely dropped the ball a bunch because of how hot and humid it was.

Any recommendations for videos online to help with rules and playing tips?

If you end up as a forward you will always be screamed at by your scrum half to move so definitely don't take personally, it's part of their job.
