you mention tou're doing 5-7k runs. thats important for rugby as stamina is needed due to the length of a match.
however, remember that rugby is characterised also by multiple sprints requiring agility (changes in direction and speed). try to train for this too rather than just longer distance running. maybe set up markers in a park and compete against a friend. runs to markers, run back to other markers. try to include changes of direction and speed.
