Question:

How do I increase my speed generally around the rugby pitch?

I play at flanker and already have lots of stamina but I could do with more pace any training suggestions?

1. Weights
2. Plyometrics
3. Short sprints with full recovery

I am sure that you must do them already.

What is your current routine?

do you want to increase quickness of speed? There are slightly different techniques for each. Speed involves sprints and general strength and speed training. Qucikness involves more psych-related techniques like shortening reaction time, ladder drills, etc.
