You don't need to work arms for rugby. Even if you're playing as a back (which a 165lber most likely would play) you need alot of leg and core strength. Rucks, mauls, scrums, it all boils down to your pushing power. You're always gonna drive with your legs and your arms are almost always close to full lockout.

IMO youd be better off dropping the arm day in favour of some conditioning (treadmill, jogging, drills, etc.)

Yeah i'm a fullback. I was thinking about doing some cardio also, but i'm trying to gain weight as fast as possible and it's the off season so i don't really need to be that fit.

I will drop the arms anyway and probably just have a day off, or find out about plyometric excercises to increase my speed.
