Meir, Rudi; Newton, Robert; Curtis, Edgar; Fardell, Matthew; Butler, Benjamin
Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research, v15 n4 p450-58 Nov 2001
Australian and English professional rugby players completed various physical fitness performance tests to determine differences when grouping players into three different rugby positional categories. Results found minimal differences in test scores on the basis of players' specific positions on a team, however, when players were grouped according to broader positional categories, more distinct performance and anthropometric differences appeared.
