This professional rugby player's training diet would surely shame us all - SportsJOE.ie

Post-game takeaway must be the highlight of most lads' week.

Being a professional rugby player, in an age where technology and tracking leave little room for errors, is far from easy. Video sessions, gym work, pitch drills, one-on-ones and mental visualisation techniques - add in media and sponsor obligations and the week fills up pretty fast. It is important, then, to fuel up with a proper diet plan. Australian international James O'Connor is currently in training and hoping to attract the interest of a Super Rugby franchise ahead of the 2016 season. The versatile back featured with Toulon last season so could yet return. With a training diet like this [full schedule at the bottom], he should be in prime condition for the club that wants to take a chance. We have selected two days from the week to give an insight into an impressive diet.
