Kinda random? But take a look......

OK, I know this IS a bit off the topic of rugby, but i was just wondering what do other rugby players(or anyone playing sport) use to get pumped up before a match. I like to use music myself, so what kinda songs do you guys listen to??? What songs etc??

Or maybe you use something else to get the adrenaline rushing! This, i know, is random, but could be interesting aswell. Lets see what people have to say!!!

In the dressing room Manager gets us all on our feet door closed start running on the stop while he shouts what we're going to do a sprint on ten and shout it as loud as we can then start slap yourself hitting yourself and bind up and get up close get the aggression levels up. Captain talks. Calm down a little sit down on the bench close our eyes take in the surroundings imagine what we are going to do.

On the pitch just before the whistle then we get into our huddle and stamp out our team name

Yeah I found that if you don't go out onto the pitch pumped up, you get smashed. Alot of Pantera and Sepultura for me..

I used to listen to some Sepultura before a game, or anything loud, fast and angry. I used to like to prepare my mind, but for someone reaason in the women's game isolating yourself before you go out to play isn't really done, so rather than alienate myself from the team I just sit quietly and try and psyche myself up. Doesn't work as well as I'd like but has to be done.

Can't get as worked up before matches as I used to. Not sure if it's for that reason or others.
