Slightly strange question that!

I know most of the main rules for rugby and tend not to concede penalties (i dont get close enought ot the ball!).  I avoid the a**e licking towards the ref that is standard over here, respect is one thing but grovel to an englishman, never!  I think very few squash players or refs know the rules inside out (note the match where a change of ball was asked for i think antony ricketts was one player involved).  PLaying for fun, it is easier to obey evry rule all the time i think, when it is your job less so, the matches begin to mean more and tempers fray and interpretation of rules becomes important.

While we are on about other sports, here is a link to a new concept

Racketlon World Champs being held in Rotterdam in December 2007.

Sports using the same type of skills all brought into one, ie Squash, Badminton, Tennis, Table Tennis - yep, not a bad concept.

types of fitness, to some extent depends on the position you play.

eg flankers would have a fitness similar to squash whereas wingers are more speed and less endurance oriented.

aprice - good luck with the rugby - and if you are trying to avoid further injuries I am not sure that I would recommend rugby.  I would say training with the rugby guys would be good for your stamina but, hey, let's face it if you play comp and get flattened sideways or tipped on your head, look out for your knees, neck, shoulders.

Cross training of course is recommended and will compliment your fitness, and assist weight control.
