After eighteen years of first team rugby and three as a coach and then a
further two years as a rugby referee.Interposed with two years as the
Physiotherapist with two senior professional rugby teams in the United
Kingdom..... I have yet to see a rugby player squat on a rugby pitch.
My point is that all exercises are task specific.
