Hey guys. I want to get back into rugby but every time I train I go to side step, sprint or come to a complete stop and my hamstring will pull in either of my legs, feels as if the pain comes from the back of my upper leg right up the middle, the pain either hits me straight away or I get a slight pain which I can deal with then a big pull. Tried stretching it and it still happens. I can jog for miles without anything happening, no pain or anything so what the hell. I love rugby and really want to get back into it. Do you think I should strengthen the hamstrings in the gym or something? I plan to start back the gym soon.Hey guys.

Rest it for a few weeks. U might have strained it. When its better, get to a gym and jump on the leg curl machine
