They train by focusing mainly on the legs (thighs are important) you pretty much want to focus on everything, but we point a lot of attention to the endurance and explosiveness of our short speed. We do squats, benching, long distance running, and free weights

Rugby Union is played with two teams, consisting of 15 players on each team (there are 13 players in Rugby League). The objective of the game is to score the most points by running the ball into your "try zone", or opponent's end of the field. Points can be obtained from these "trys", comparable to a touchdown in football, field goals, and scoring a kick after a try. One crucial rule in rugby is that the ball cannot ever be thrown forward, only passed backwards. However, the ball may be kicked forward.

There are two main kinds of players, line players and pack players. It is the line players job to carry the ball down the field by running the ball forward and passing the ball backwards to other members of the line. The pack players help to protect the ball, tackle opposing players, participate in scrum downs, line outs, mauls, and rucks.

Scrum downs and line outs are used when a foul or penalty has occured. Mauls and rucks occur when the person with the ball has been tackled, and the two teams try to obtain the ball by forcing players over the ball and into their half of the field.

This is the best summary I could possibly give, however, since rugby is a very visual sport, it is best learned by watching a good game.
