Thats an oxymoron
Strength training is not 4 x 6 adding more reps doesnt increase strength either

Im just wondering, if i started training for muscle hypertrophy, as in 3 x 12 or 4 x 10 etc, would i lose my strength ?

yes as its non specific hypertrophy

For example i can deadlift 95kg 4 x 6. bench 54.5kg 4 x 6. If i did muscle hypertrophy for 3 monthes etc, would these lifts go down ?

more than likely not but they would not increase compared to if you trained for strength...but you are not doing that ATM either
Quote:
If i did 6 months muscle hypertrophy and then started strength training, over time would i lose size gained during muscle hypertrophy training ?
It sounds like im babbling on but i just want to know the relations inbetween strength training and muscle hypertrophy

Too many factors to answer that
End of the day you are training for rugby....so train for it
