WATCH: Brilliant footage shows old school French rugby training

In modern rugby, the game is awash with gadgets and technology to make training more efficient and specific. It seems this was not the case for a French side in a time before colour TV was even invented.

In a video which the rugby purists will adore – a rugby team in France are seen running through walls of tyres and scrummaging against what many would describe as a metal cage.

The clank of shoulders against metal, is not the most pleasing of sounds!

Nevertheless, the footage is brilliantly captivating and a world away from what modern rugby teams use today.

One has to wonder how the current French side would fair using these methods of training!
