Via Bruce Ross' MyoQuip blog, I just came across the training blog of an up-and-coming Rugby prop from Brisbane (Australia). For those of you not overly familiar with this great game, the props are the two guys that pack in to the front of the scrum alongside the hooker; and are generally the heaviest and strongest guys on the team.

Born 22 November 1936 in Nottingham, John Bird is a satirist, actor and comedian. As with many English satirists he was educated at Cambridge, becoming well-known shortly afterward in the 1960s' television series That Was The Week That Was.
In the 1970s he gained further notoriety as a satirist with the popular recording The Colleckerted [sic] Broadcasts of Idi Amin (based on Alan Coren's anti-Idi Punch columns).
Despite acting in several films - in both straight and comedic roles - he is now best known in the UK for his work alongside John Fortune and Rory Bremner; particular the award-winning Bremner, Bird and Fortune series.
In Australia he is currently seen alongside Stephen Fry in the 2002 series of Absolute Power.

Despite Australia's recent love affair with that silly round ball game, Rugby continues to dominate the local sporting scene. Here are a few of the better Rugby-related sites I've noticed recently.
As you've no doubt already ascertained from the URL, this site is home to the most rugged-looking front squat assistance device I've seen (it's rated to 600lb, which isn't bad for a front squat). I wouldn't mind giving one a test run - if anyone's already tried one, let me know.

Whilst on the subject of equipment, check out the ScrumTruk. If you've ever watched a game of Rugby, you'll see how closely this replicates the action of a Scrum. Once again, if you've tried one of these, I'd love to hear your thoughts. Looks like a great bit of gear.
The MyoQuip blog also has some very interesting articles.
For a bit of news on the international Rugby scene, you can't go past scrum.com. It's as big as it sounds.

Some of the articles on the http://www.rugbystrength.com site will give you an insight into the Rugby training world. It's a superb combination of powerlifting, strongman training and a gathering of great looking equipment.
