Send us Fan MailIn Episode 153 of the Joint Dynamics Podcast, host Andrew Cox | Joint Dynamics dives deep into the high-stakes world of elite performance nutrition with Eliza Freney, the powerhouse behind The Rugby Dietitian. If you've ever viewed nutrition as an "add-on" to training, Eliza is here to shift your perspective: in the world of professional collision sports, nutrition isn't optional - it is infrastructure.With a resume that reads like a "who's who" of international sport - including roles as the Head of Performance Nutrition for Rugby Australia and the Wallabies, and current consultancy for the NRL's South Sydney Rabbitohs and New Zealand Basketball - Eliza brings a level of scientific rigor that is rarely seen outside of elite environments. We explore the physiological nuances of fueling different roles on the pitch, from the explosive power needs of a front-rower to the high-speed endurance requirements of a winger.A significant portion of today's conversation focuses on Eliza's cutting-edge research into Omega-3 fatty acids (DHA and EPA). We move beyond simple "heart health" to discuss the emerging and vital role these lipids play in concussion risk mitigation and cognitive recovery for athletes facing repetitive sub-concussive events. Whether you are a weekend warrior, a parent of a rising teenage star, or an elite professional, Eliza's insights into the "nutrition mindset" will change how you view your next meal.We also take a moment to acknowledge that rugby is truly in Eliza's DNA; while her father, Michael Freney, famously wore the gold jersey for the Wallabies, Eliza is the one now ensuring the modern era of players actually has the fuel to finish the full 80 minutes—perhaps the most important "assist" in the family history!*JD podcast show sponsor is Muvitality Medicinal Mushrooms for modern day health and wellness | Mu …Go to muvitality.com and use the code JD10 to receive a 10% discount on your purchase of Mu Functional mushrooms such as Lions Mane, Cordyceps, Chaga, Reishi, and Turkey tail functional mushroomsEnjoyHere are some useful links for this podcastIG @therugbydietition Relevant episodesEpisode 145 - All Blacks Secrets: Dr. Nic Gill on Building Rugby's Greatest Dynasty - https://podcasts.apple.com/hk/podcast/episode-145-all-blacks-secrets-dr-nic-gill-on-building/id1527374894?i=1000747675984Episode 148 - Controversial or Just Honest?

It was reported today that New Zealand Rugby and Rugby Australia are close to agreeing on a historic ANZAC day test match between the All Blacks and the Wallabies next year as part of preparation for the Rugby World Cup. RA originally floated the idea in 2024 but were shut down by NZR, but with a different leadership group the organisation looks to have had a change of heart on the issue. Former Wallabies midfielder Tim Horan joined the Afternoons team to discuss. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

New Zealand rugby commentator Elliott Smith joins Brett McKay on the AUS Rugby scene this week, with news of Moana Pasifika's demise dominating all discussion around the competition. Please note, Moana Pasifika confirmed their intentions to disband at the conclusion of the 2026 season soon after this episode was recorded, and before it was released, but the concerns expressed and thoughts on the way forward remain valid. This does feel like a tipping point for Super Rugby Pacific, and it's inherent on Rugby Australia and New Zealand Rugby that all options are not properly explored for the competition to regain lost ground. #rugbypodcast #89Rugby #SuperRugbyPacific Find Elliott hosting the Rugby Direct podcast, along with Liam Napier wherever you get your podcasts.

The lads unpack a massive rugby weekend featuring Super Rugby chaos, Blitzboks success, and one of the most entertaining Six Nations rounds in years. We start down south with a Super Rugby check-in after four rounds: the Chiefs quietly looking strong, the Brumbies stumbling late against the Reds, the Crusaders flirting with panic mode, and the Force discovering that scoring points is easy… defending them is not. We also touch on Rugby Australia's latest league convert and what the looming World Cup might mean for player movement. A quick pit stop through Sevens (with the Blitzboks topping the standings) leads into the big news from New Zealand: Dave Rennie vs Jamie Joseph for the All Blacks job and what each candidate could bring to a slightly messy Kiwi setup. A special word for the Lions - 25/26 South African Shield Champions! What an achievement. Then it's time for the main course: Six Nations madness. • Italy shock England for the first time as selection roulette, brain-dead penalties, and general chaos sink Borthwick's men. • Scotland produce one of their best performances in years to hammer France before a late French fightback. • Ireland grind past Wales while Wales continue their slow rebuild. Along the way we discuss the brilliance of Menoncello, the resurgence of Kyle Steyn, whether Ireland have quietly regressed to “occasionally good” territory, and why England's selection decisions might have cost them the tournament. Finally, we preview a wild final weekend where France, Ireland, and Scotland can all still win the Six Nations—and we ask the real question: is there still a way England could somehow end up with the wooden spoon? Music by @monstroid, 80s TV Show.
The ex-Origin winger has lost hundreds of thousands of dollars and drawn heavy criticism from the game where he made his name, but Zac Lomax clearly believes in his switch to rugby. The new Western Force recruit speaks to us about the move and doubled down on his belief that rugby's global appeal was the central plank of his decision to join the fifteen-man code.

New Zealand Rugby insists it won't have to try to lure back coaches it wants to apply for the vacant All Blacks role. The criteria for Scott Robertson's replacement states candidates need experience internationally and must be a New Zealander.

Brian Kelly finally links up with the Parramatta Eels on a 2-year deal but the news cycle has been dominated in the last 24 hours by news surrounding former Eel Zac Lomax. The Melbourne Storm have allegedly approached the Eels about signing the rogue winger. For his part, Lomax has allegedly engaged the services of lawyer Ramy Qutami who has previously represented Isaral Folau in his dispute with Rugby Australia. Can the Eels extract some value from the Storm in a player swap? Buzz Rothfield is certainly stirring the pot in that regard as the boys discuss everything from top to bottom in a rapidly developing situation. Is there anything remotely interesting happening across the code in comparison? The show scours the news channels to find the latest general news for the NRL including a contract extension for Payne Hass...but a very short term extension as he continues to ponder a change of codes.

There's a strong chance that this has been Moana Pasifika's best and last season in super rugby. Do you want them to have another one? And if so, how much should the taxpayer put in to save it? Would you pay $7million? Because that's apparently what they're short. The Whānau Ora money is gone and it's understood that Sky is pulling its sponsorship of half a million dollars a year. World rugby also wants to either reduce or completely cut the money it puts in. That's around $1.7million a year. So, for a club that costs about 12 m a year to run, it is short around $7million. My answer to the first question I asked you … is yes. Moana Pasifika should be saved. There is a very good reason to have a super ruby team dedicated to giving professional opportunities to Tongan and Samoan rugby players. They were also one of the best success stories of the season. My answer to the second question is that the taxpayer should pay nothing. I can almost guarantee there will be a request for taxpayer help, but this is not a taxpayer problem. This is a rugby problem. This is one for NZ rugby and rugby Australia to fix. They are the ones who own the Super Rugby competition, and the ones who make money off the broadcast deal from it. I hope they can sort it out though because in a rugby competition that failed to excite people during the regular season, Moana Pasifika were one of the better stories.
