7-10kg of muscle mass is unrealistic in 6-8 months (or however long a rugby offseason is)

and secondly if your a rugby player dont train like a bodybuilder... you need explosive power and functional strength not big biceps... concentration curls have no place mate, and your rep ranges aren't what i would prescribe.

that's more like a 1 yr goal for pure muscle mass.

Here's an example from Darkman in the workout library of a Rugby offseason workout : viewtopic.php?f=33&t=13850 - looks kind of complicated with the large number of exercises per session but it will give you a good indication of the kind of exercises you should really have in your program (more explosive full body stuff cleans push press snatch etc.)
