All muscles are used in the game of Rugby. However, certain muscles are focused on for different positions. Fowards: Train backs, necks, shoulders, abs, pecs, and quads (mainly for driving). Arms are helpful too. Backs: legs and good arms (for running and tackling). However, in case one ends up in a ruck or maul (or just doesn't want to get hurt due to insufficient conditioning), the muscles trained by the fowards are helpful (except maybe the neck). Both require very strong quads. Fowards use this to drive, and backs to run fast (and drive occasionally). Also very necessary for the tackle.
Kicking a rugby ball, or any ball for that matter, mostly involves the quads (quadriceps) which are responsible for extending the knee. They do most of the work. In addition, the abs (abdominals/stomach muscles) also play an important role as well as the dorsiflexors in the lower leg (tibialis anterior, extensor digitorum longus, and peroneus.
Trapzius, Levator Scapilae, Deltoid, Rhomboids, rotator cuff, Tricep brachii, brachioradialis, latissimus dorsi all located in the upper body. This does not incluse the lower body muscles required to stand, rotate and maintain balance such as the Gluteus maximus, bicep femoris, semitendainosus, semimembranosus, gastrocnemius, soleus, tibialias porterior, peroneus longus, peroneus brevis. Basically the whole muscular network comes in to play when passing a rugby ball.
