In fact as the game gets faster, tougher and more elite the whole face of Welsh rugby could be irrevocably changed.<\/p>\n<p>In the past players needed to hold down a full time job, as well as representing their team on the pitch twice a week. Tiredness and drinking could easily lead to a severe injury and players received no kind of psychological care. Today the story is a very different one, says WRU press officer Alex Bywater, 23. Players are subject to \u201cstringent health and fitness training\u201d, take regular trips to Poland to use the cryotheraphy chambers and receive personal development sessions.<\/p>\n<p>Colin Riley, 65, played rugby for Pontypridd up to today\u2019s professional levels in the early 70s and 80s. \u201cI worked in the day time, played two nights a week and trained another two. I went to the gym once a week and I was probably the only one,\u201d he said. \u201cI can remember coming off after games and I would just feel really sore and really tired.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_16288\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"width: 480px\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/altcardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2012\/12\/Rugby-1980.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-16288\" title=\"Rugby 1980\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/altcardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2012\/12\/Rugby-1980.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"488\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/altcardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2012\/12\/Rugby-1980.jpg 480w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/altcardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2012\/12\/Rugby-1980-295x300.jpg 295w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-16288\" title=\"Rugby 1980\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/altcardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2012\/12\/Rugby-1980.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"488\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/altcardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2012\/12\/Rugby-1980.jpg 480w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/altcardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2012\/12\/Rugby-1980-295x300.jpg 295w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/noscript><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Colin Riley (with the ball) playing for Pontypridd in 1980<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>The toll of the game<\/h2>\n<p>Players from every generation suffer the ever-present threat of injury while playing high level rugby. Colin sustained multiple muscle strains, \u201cThat was because of lack of intelligence, lack of education by myself and on the part of the coaching staff. I over trained.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Physical support for rugby players has certainly improved since Colin\u2019s day but he says that nowadays it\u2019s the more physical aspect of the game that is responsible for players\u2019 injuries. \u201cYou\u2019ve got 18-stone guys coming at you now where as in my day they would only be about 15-stone.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Will Hartland, 19, who plays for the Tewkesbury Rugby Football Club first team, says that as pressure to win increases so does the need to train harder, go to the gym more and watch your diet. He says that even in a small club he needs to train for about ten hours a week, but even this isn\u2019t enough to avoid injury. \u201cAs a smaller than average male I tend to get injured more,\u201d he said \u201cI\u2019ve torn ligaments in my neck and in my thumb and had to have stitches in my lip and knee.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This autumn more than half a dozen of Wales\u2019s players have sustained serious injuries. Alex however puts the recent spate of injuries down to nothing more than Wales\u2019s bad luck. \u201cThere is no doubt the game is becoming physically tougher,\u201d he says, \u201cbut the players prepare for this accordingly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It is not just the physical aspect of the game that can take its toll on players. With the pressure of a nation hanging on their shoulders it can be hard to face another team across the field.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou get nervous,\u201d says Colin, \u201cI was in a time when there were a lot of good welsh players around. Playing against them was not easy. You never got any help in terms of any kind of psychology, that was un-thought of then.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Pre-match pep talks at that time consisted mainly of being shouted at for ten minutes during the warm up according to Colin, and it never had much of an effect on him. Today players receive far more help, with sports psychology being an accepted and used science. The WRU provide coaching in media training and instruct players on how to juggle their sport alongside their personal life.<\/p>\n<p>There is no doubt about the fact that playing rugby us a lifestyle choice. \u201cRugby is in the mind for six of the seven days of the week,\u201d says Colin, \u201cit used to take a big chunk of my thinking in terms of controlling what I did.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Changing Times<\/h2>\n<p>The protection of rugby players may have improved but as the game gets tougher and faster and the players are forced to train harder it seems as though Welsh rugby is getting further from its small town roots.<\/p>\n<p>New GPS systems, which are being used to measure the force of rugby tackles, estimate that the force may be equal to a fall from 12ft and though their bodies are trained to deal with these impacts fatigue from overwork and travel is always a factor that can lead to injury.<\/p>\n<p>With the game becoming more elite are players becoming more machine than man? Colin remembers his time as a player as a more relaxed affair. \u201cThere used to be a really friendly atmosphere, none of these buses and stuff, we just used to get off the train and walk,\u201d he said. \u201cIt was a great time, a big rugby family and that\u2019s all sort of shrunk and gone.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A yearly income of \u00a320,000 wired to a bank account and \u00a310 in a brown envelope stuck in your boot as you come off the pitch on a Saturday afternoon.
