Rugby is a game with a lot of injuries.  Players need to be in excellent physical condition to last the duration of a match or a season. 

In fact, many players don’t make it through a season at all.  When minor players need to be replaced, it often isn’t a big deal.  But when key players need to be replaced, it can devastate the performance of the entire team.  Depending on how bad the injury is and how long the replacement lasts, that could result in a few lost matches or a lost season.
