How can you be more aggressive in rugby?

Answer 1

Pysche your self up before hand. Heavy musics good etc. It depends on you really, I've seen one of the calmest, relaxed players I've known suddenly flip out because some guy grabbed him by the neck, he went absolutely skitz. We actually told an easily angered kid that the opposition said something about his mother and that was it, he was geared up the whole match. You just have to find something that makes you feel angry. For me I'd imagine they'd (opposition) insulted my girlfriend, called her a rude name or something else offensive. Everyone's different though.

Another things that helps is fitness level. The better your fitness level the more energy you can direct towards playing a vigorous game. If your huffing and puffing don't expect to have a lot of energy left for being aggressive.
