The Maori All Blacks have a new head coach as the side returns to the international stage next month. Former All Black Ross Filipo takes the reins of the team he played for during the early 2000s. Sports Reporter Felicity Reid speaks to Lisa Owen.
Widely known as one of the top strength & conditioning Directors in the world, Simon Thomas curated his success at Super Rugby's most successful team, The Crusaders under head coach Scott “Razor” Robertson (now the All Blacks coach). Simon led the performance department at the Crusaders for four years resulting in three Super Rugby titles in 2017, 2018, 2019 & a Super Rugby Aotearoa title in 2020. While experiencing success with the Crusaders he was also working with Maori All Blacks in the International windows & consulted in Japan, Brazil & Argentina throughout.He left NZ to go to the US and build a new rugby environment in the MLR based on Austin Texas in 2021 and 2022. This was another valuable experience & Simon loved it in the US & the exposure to the bigger US sporting environments as this was a big driver of wanting to leave his success behind him at New Zealand Rugby & take on a new challenge. He then came to Perth to work as Head of Performance with the Western Force Rugby team based in Western Australia under Simon Cron, and this is where this interview with JD podcast curator & host Andrew was held. Simon shares many fascinating stories from inside his time working in professional sport, the narratives that led to success at the Crusaders under the driving force of Razor, the athletes, and a mentor that influenced Simon greatly with her words, “live to create opportunities for others”.This podcast interview with Simon is a rare gem for coaches, athletes and leaders wanting to take some inspiration from a leader in the industry who has worked consistently with other leaders!Show sponsor Muvitality Medicinal Mushrooms for modern day health and wellness | Mu …Go to muvitality.com use code JD10 to receive a 10% discount on your purchase of Mu Functional mushrooms Here are some useful links for this podcastIG @westernforce Linked In - https://au.linkedin.com/in/simon-thomas-5656b540Relevant episodesEpisode 91 - Becoming a “Mindset monster” with Super Rugby Human Performance & Mindset coach Davie Gray - https://podcasts.apple.com/hk/podcast/episode-91-becoming-a-mindset-monster-with-super/id1527374894?i=1000640880513Episode 88 - Damian Browne on The Power of Process and The Pain Cave - https://podcasts.apple.com/hk/podcast/episode-88-damian-browne-on-the-power-of-process/id1527374894?i=1000636640784JOINT DYNAMICS links:Joint Dynamics Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/JointDynamicsHongKong/Joint Dynamics Instagram -https://www.instagram.com/jointdynamics/Joint Dynamics Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRQZplKxZMSvtc6LxM5WckwJoint Dynamics Website - www.jointdynamics.com.hk Host - Andrew Cox - https://www.jointdynamics.com.hk/the-team/trainers/andrew-cox

Billy Bush played 37 games for the All Blacks between 1974 and 1979, achieved a century of games for Canterbury and captained for the Maori All Blacks. Since his playing days, he has been involved in the sport as a coach and an administrator. His services to rugby have also resulted in being appointed a Member of the New Zealand Order of Merit, and he is a life member of the NZ Maori Rugby Board. Now 74, he drives buses on long haul runs around the South Island. His new book Billy Bush: A Front Row View on Life has been co written with Phil Gifford.
When Tim Bateman played professional rugby, he was well aware of the toll anxiety could take on his performance. It's something he's hoping to help children with, through his new "Fruit Salad" series of books he's penned with cartoonist Jeff Bell. The first two are out now: The Lonely Lemon and The Sad Banana. Tim played for the Crusaders, Hurricanes, Maori All Blacks and the Coca-Cola Red Sparks in Japan. He retired last year to spend more time with his family and support his wife Laura through her battle with MS. That experience has seen him move into the well-being space - he and Laura operate two wellness centres in Christchurch: Cloud9 Float Club and O-Studio. Tim joins Kathryn to talk about how there's so many books to help adults with how their mental health, but not many for children.
What an amazing game the New Zealand Women's Rugby Team played on Saturday night - beating England 34-31 in the World Cup final. Did you notice, then, that I didn't call them the Black Ferns? That's because I don't think they should be called that anymore. I think they have well-and-truly earned the right to be known as the Women's All Blacks. We've had the Men's All Blacks since the early 1900s. Since 2012, we've had the Maori All Blacks (originally known as the New Zealand Maori team) and, more recently, we've had the All Blacks Sevens. So I think it would make perfect sense for the women's national team to be re-named the Women's All Blacks. I tested my idea at home yesterday and it, pretty much, got the thumbs down. Which surprised me, actually. “Why would the Black Ferns want to be associated with the All Blacks?” is how I would summarise the response. And, yes, give me any game the New Zealand women have played during this World Cup tournament over any All Blacks game in recent memory. This morning's game against Scotland is a case in point. How refreshing was it on Saturday night - and throughout the World Cup tournament - to see the women passing the ball around the back row when it seems all the All Blacks can do is kick it into touch time and time and time again. It just highlights, doesn't it, how boring they've become. So I see what my focus group yesterday was getting at, asking why the women would want to be lumped in with the All Blacks. When I was watching that game on Saturday night, I remembered how the All Blacks used to play like the Black Ferns. Taking all sorts of risks. Carlos Spencer, for example, almost throwing the ball away behind him - hoping there was someone there to catch it. And most times, there was. The All Blacks are nothing like that these days. Nevertheless, rugby honchos still bang on about the All Blacks being the number one rugby brand in the world, don't they? Which might have stacked up a few years back when the All Blacks were genuinely exciting to watch. And when they pretty much smashed any team that took them on. I remember watching them play Scotland at Carisbrook in Dunedin back in the 90s, and the scoreline getting so ridiculously in favour of the All Blacks that I just wanted them to let Scotland get a few points on the board. But they're not exciting anymore. And they are certainly not dominant. They're just boring to watch - and, at best, they scrape through games that - not all that long ago - they would've won convincingly. And not only do I think that the women's team deserve to be part of the All Blacks brand, I think they could actually be its saviour. Because they're the ones on top of the rugby world at the moment - unlike their male counterparts. So this isn't just about recognising the women. It's about utilising their magic to bring some much-needed shine back to the All Blacks brand. Supposedly, the greatest rugby brand in the world. And, surely, if it's good enough to have the Sevens team known as the All Blacks and the Maori team known as the All Blacks - then it's more than good enough to have the women's team known as the All Blacks too. As I've said to my kids time and time again, women's sport is the future - particularly when it comes to attracting sponsorship money. And I can see a day coming when the women's team will be the golden ticket for New Zealand Rugby, as corporate sponsors fall over themselves to support women's sport. That is the future. Which is why I'm convinced that, if New Zealand Rugby wants to make the most of that spectacular win on Saturday night, it needs to ditch the Black Ferns brand and make the women's team part of the All Blacks stable. The Men's All Blacks. The Maori All Blacks. The Sevens All Blacks. And the Women's All Blacks. But we can't stop at a name-change. New Zealand Rugby also needs to start pouring a lot more money into women's rugby. Investing in the national women's team AND investing in girls rugby too. Because how many times do we get girls playing ripper rugby but then, as they get older, they find there are issues getting coaches for girls' rugby and they get disillusioned and move on to other sports. So I think New Zealand Rugby needs to pay a lot more than just lip service to women' s rugby. And, for me, that would be changing the Black Ferns name to the Women's All Blacks. And ring-fencing funding specifically for girls' and women's rugby. Both of those things make perfect sense. Well, they do to me.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
