The current study examined the reliability of countermovement (CMJ), squat (SJ), and rebound jumps (RBJ) to sprint and estimated 1RM back squat (SQ) of sub-elite Rugby Union players drawn from two teams of similar competitive level. Comparisons of mean performance on all tests were made via Student t-tests. The three trial reliability of jump height for the SJ, CMJ, RBJ, contact time (CT) and Reactive Strength Index for the RBJ, T-Test agility run (TA-Test), 30 and 36.58 m (40 yd) sprint times were estimated via ICC and ReANOVA. All variables displayed Average measures ICC >= .900; and except for the TA-Test, the three trials did not differ from each other. The performance of the two teams was found to be similar on all tests except the 30 m and 40 yd sprint tests. All the studied performance measures could be reliably assessed with one trial, except the TA-test.
