Tag Rugby and lifting

Play tag rugby three times a week currently (Monday, Tuesday and Thursday) but want to get back to the gym. 2 days ideally but if it's better to do three then I can try and fit it in. I'll be looking to squat, bench, deadlift, overhead press and some chins etc. What sort of program/routine is recommended here considering my legs are getting a good workout during the rest of the week? Weight is 77kg but wouldn't mind adding a few kilos.

Thanks Dave. Would something like the below work?

Friday Upper
3x5 Bench Press
3x5 Military Press
Chins/Pull Ups/Dips

Saturday Lower
3x5 Squat
1x5 Deadlift
Something else?

Saturday would be the better day for lower anyway. 2 days rest for the legs before and after.
