Plus de déceptions malheureusement pour des équipes françaises qui s'investissent mollement dans cette compétition que de succès à la hauteur des campagnes héroïques des dernières années ! Le Stade Toulousain, après un départ canon contre les Sharks, a bu la tasse et subi la loi des écossais de Glasgow. Clermont n'en finit pas de décevoir à domicile, elles sont loin les grandes années de la citadelle imprenable !

Ardie Savea took out Player of the Year at the NZ Rugby Awards last night, but another big award went to someone who spends 80 minutes trying not to be the centre of attention. Maggie Cogger-Orr was named Referee of the Year, recognised for a career-best season that includes the Women's Rugby World Cup semifinal between England and France.

Gilbert Enoka changed the way the All Blacks played rugby. With an 80% win rate in test rugby, the All Blacks winning mindset and resilience are just as vital as physical training. Gilbert Enoka was their secret weapon, guiding the All Blacks to win two consecutive Rugby World Cups, multiple Tri-Nations titles, 3 Grand Slams, 21 straight Bledisloe Cups, and maintaining 118 months at the top of the World Rugby Rankings. He has also worked with NZ cricket and netball teams, the Canterbury Crusaders, the NSW NRL Blues, and Chelsea. We explore his personal and professional journey, sharing valuable insights into leadership, mental resilience, and the importance of creating meaning and purpose for a team.   LINKS   The Mojo Sessions website www.themojosessions.com   The Mojo Sessions on Patreon www.patreon.com/TheMojoSessions Full transcripts of the show (plus time codes) are available on Patreon.   The Mojo Sessions on Facebook www.facebook.com/TheMojoSessions   Gary on LinkedIn www.linkedin.com/in/gary-bertwistle   Gary on Twitter www.twitter.com/GaryBertwistle   The Mojo Sessions on Instagram www.instagram.com/themojosessions   If you like what you hear, we'd be grateful for a review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify. Happy listening!   © 2025 Gary Bertwistle.  All Rights Reserved.

Become a Supporter of The Real Science of Sport by making a small monthly pledge, and you also get access to our world-class community of experts and enthusiasts. Plus you get to explain sports like F1 and Squash to Gareth and Ross!Show notesToday, we focus on three news pieces from last week that reminded us of other stories we covered during 2025. The first two concern weight loss and management in elite sport, beginning with a look at the GLP-1 agonist issue (28:27). This was triggered by reports in the UK advising people that they must continue to exercise, specifically weight train, in order to combat the loss of lean mass that has been observed on the drug, which some have equated with aging a decade. Elite sport, meanwhile, will have to consider whether to ban such drugs as potentially performance-enhancing or harmful.On the subject of harm, we stay on weight issues to discuss RED-s (40:10), in the light of a remarkable and candid announcement by elite cyclist Veronica Ewers that she's taking time away from the sport to address issues that she explains go back over a decade. Her story highlights all the traps - control and thoughtfulness about discipline, obsession over measurement and gadgets, disordered eating, intense training, positive validation in competitive environments, the remarkable ability of the body to tolerate this punishment, but ultimately, the sacrifice of health in a misplaced pursuit of performance. We talk about the lessons we can all learn, thinking back to Pauline Ferrand-Prevot's victory in the TDFF, which was a success story for weight periodization.We also cover precocious talent, after a three-year old Indian prodigy earned a chess ranking (1:00:40). That reminded us of Malcolm Gladwell's "compression of adolescence" concept, and we talk about the inefficiencies sport accepts in its pursuit of the next champion, highlighted numerous times this year, with the realization that the system is broken and won't be fixed unless there is a collective will be fix it.Also in this show, a more light-hearted look at the Football and Rugby World Cup draws (2:54) has us bemoaning the dilution of quality and the dearth of competitive matches early in those tournaments. And we chat about a super-fast Valencia marathon (10:43), that threw up fast winning times and nine national records, leading to a chat about globalization of the sport, the dominance of African runners, the slowest marathon nations (with some reasons), and the density of men's and women's top performers.Plus Gareth remembers that Curacao is both a drink and World Cup finalist, and Ross defends Ghana's football honour!Other linksReview article advising resistance training in people taking GLP-1 agonistsPaper that examines weight loss after 1 year of exercise or GLP-1 drugsMore in-depth look at appetite and exercise behaviours in that studyStudy finding risk for RED-s in 30% of triathletes, including the tools that can be used to identify risk factorsCycling teams paying young riders big salaries Hosted on Acast.

Ep. 171: Mathieu Blin - Multi-Facettes - De joueur Stade Français à manager de SU Agen et consultant Canal +Dans cet épisode de Pack de Potes, nous recevons à nouveau Mathieu Blin, ancien talonneur emblématique du Stade Français, quadruple champion de France, consultant rugby sur Canal+ depuis des années, mais aussi manager et directeur général de clubs d'Agen et Suresnes. Ensemble, on revient sur son parcours singulier, son rôle à Canal+,  son travail dans la prévention des commotions cérébrales, et sa vision très concrète de ce qui fait évoluer une équipe au plus haut niveau. Mathieu partage ses conseils pour mieux regarder et analyser un match, et revient sur la culture unique et mythique du Stade Français des années Max Guazzini. On parle aussi rugby amateur, performance globale, et leadership.

Overall a really pleasing weekend for both Gloucester and Glos-Hartpury as they secured wins against difficult opposition. But the Bonus point victories were not as straightforward as they should have been. The Women struggled to put away an entertaining Ealing side, while the Men managed to secure 5 points despite having a shambolic lineout (Helped to a significant degree by Castres dreadful discipline).We chat through both games and do see the overwhelming positives especially considering the mis-firing set piece but do have serious concerns ahead of this weekends match in Cork against Munster. Jim and Ed also discuss the Rugby World Cup draw and the opportunities available for some of the Tier 2/3 nations to spring a surprise on the likes of Fiji, Italy and Wales.Ed PriceJim HarleyCherry Jam is proud to be sponsored by PGT LLP

Today we welcome a true sporting legend. Bryan Habana is a 100+ cap Springbok, a World Champion and joint highest tryscorer in Rugby World Cup history, a man who races cheetahs. As I'm sure you've noted this is our longest show yet. That is because it's also one of the best. Rugby sits at the heart of it, but the personal stories bring a side to an elite athlete we rarely see. There are moments in this where we were shocked at what happened to Bryan and inspired by how he navigated the demands of his performance while experiencing immense personal turmoil. We sat down and kept the cameras rolling. Please excuse Harry's dishevelled look if you're watching; he just about made it in time out of the pouring rain, having not originally been able to make it, so we give him a pass this time. And for a bit of fun, we have a discussion debating how many global sports icons rugby has had; people that could do what Bryan did and stand alongside Thierry Henry, Roger Federer and Tiger Woods in a Gillette advert. We're not talking legendary rugby players, we're talking global superstars. Comment who you think sits in that category below and we can move the debate of the best answers to our socials. On today's show we discuss: The Making of a World Champion:The discipline and sacrifice required to compete at the top for 15 years.Why Bryan believes greatness is built, not born, and the mindset that allowed him to sustain elite standards.His philosophy on resilience, humility and redefining success beyond tries, trophies and fame.Money, Trust & the Hidden Vulnerability of Athletes:The psychological crash that hits athletes after retirement and why so many feel lost without structure, identity or purpose.The shocking story of how Bryan's trusted advisor mismanaged and spent years of his commercial earnings.The lessons he believes every young professional must learn about protecting their finances and their future.The Springboks Blueprint for Success:Why South Africa has become the most consistently dominant rugby nation in the modern era.The culture, leadership structure, and alignment that underpin the team's identity.Rassie Erasmus's role in transforming the Springboks and why empowerment and clarity are central to their success.The Future of Rugby:Why rugby cannot survive without global calendar alignment, better storytelling and more connection to young fans.How commercial realities, travel demands and private equity influence the sport's next decade.Why Habana believes rugby must modernise fast or risk losing cultural relevance.A huge thank you to our amazing partners on the show: Stryde Bringing sports investment opportunities to your door.

A revamped All Blacks side has been tasked with maintaining an almost 72-year unbeaten legacy against Wales on Sunday morning in Cardiff. Three players —captain and lock Scott Barrett, flanker Simon Parker and Will Jordan, who shifts to the right wing— remain in the run-on side from last week's loss to England. Ardie Savea and Codie Taylor are among the players rested...along with Cam Roigard and Beauden Barrett. Newstalk ZB Rugby Commentator Elliott Smith told Mike Hosking much like the bronze medal match at the Rugby World Cup, no one really wants to play it.

Ep. 169: Opération Portes Ouvertes - France vs Fidji / Autumn Nations 2025On craignait un match piège pour les bleus, et s'ils ont gagné, le moins qu'on puisse dire c'est qu'ils n'ont rassuré personne, même pas eux mêmes.

The Black Ferns will have a new coach by Christmas. Outgoing coach Allan Bunting says he wasn't pushed but he is not seeking reappointment after the Black Ferns finished third at the Rugby World Cup this year. Sports reporter Felicity Reid spoke to Lisa Owen.

"There is no White Knight coming to save you." My former boss Lindsay Pattison said this to me recently, and it landed hard. Lindsay was global CEO of Maxus, part of Mark Read's core WPP team, running a global agency network at what she calls "200 miles an hour." At that speed, you don't have time to question whether you're going in the right direction. You just go. Until the day she realized: this pace was making decisions for her. So she did something radical. She chose to pause. Not because she had to. Because she wanted agency over what came next. The conversation we had about this decision is one of the most honest I've recorded. It's about: * What it really means to have agency when you're at the top (it's not what you think) * The responsibility that comes with leadership that nobody talks about * How to make massive life decisions without certainty * What happens when you stop running and start choosing This is exactly why I'm launching the new series Mojo Under Fire - conversations about the crucible moments that forge great leaders Remember to subscribe to be notified about new episodes.
