… What?

3

Have you ever played rugby?

And also, What?

4

Your main goal was to increase athletic performance?
Your routine seems to be a circuit / hypertrophy (using heavy weights and not allowing a long enough rest between sets or exerises).
I would recommend a strength training phase for the main prime movers for rugby.

A 4-9 week training phase for MxS will increase agility, quickness, speed, and obviously strength. Once you convert this strength into the required muscle-type training needed for rugby (e.g power-endurance, P-E short / medium duration) you will notice your goal of athletic performance. I suggest looking into periodization!
