Quick‑Start Tips and Training Advice

First things first – the fundamentals. Learn the core positions, the difference between a ruck and a maul, and why proper tackling technique matters for safety and performance. Our "Rugby Tips" posts break down drills you can do in a park or gym, focusing on speed, agility, and handling skills. You’ll find step‑by‑step guides on perfecting your pass and improving your kicking accuracy without needing fancy equipment.

Once you’ve nailed the basics, it’s time to think about conditioning. We cover weekly workout plans that balance strength training with cardio, so you can stay strong through the scrum and fast on the break. The articles also explain how nutrition supports recovery – think protein‑rich meals after a hard session and hydration tricks for those long summer matches.

Understanding the rulebook makes you a smarter player and a better fan. Our breakdown of the latest law changes explains why a hands‑off in the tackle zone is now penalised and how the advantage rule works in fast‑flowing games. We also dive into the cultural side – why French fans call the sport "le rugby" and what the nickname "Los Pumas" means for Argentina’s squad.

Ever wondered how much pro players actually earn? Our salary guide lists earnings for top leagues, highlights the biggest contracts in Europe, and compares them to emerging markets like Brazil and Germany. The piece on why rugby hasn’t taken off in Germany sheds light on historical and social factors that keep the sport in the shadows there.
