How do you build a team where people will run through a wall for each other? Not metaphorically. Literally. James Slipper, the most capped Wallaby of all time. Nic White, the third most capped scrum half in Australian rugby history. Two men who've spent more time with each other than with their families, who've argued hard on the training paddock and sat next to each other every Tuesday team dinner for over a decade.Their answer isn't team building. It isn't trust falls. It isn't a values poster on the wall.Slips opens up on his 2018 rock bottom and the rebuild that gave him the longest career of any Wallaby in history. Nic on the chip on his shoulder that ran most of his career, the sepsis that nearly took him out after he hung up the boots, and the word he never used until now: fragile.Two careers. One friendship. A blueprint for the leaders who are tired of culture being a buzzword.03:00 — How it started: Nic's first run-in with Slips on the field05:10 — The relationship that goes deeper than friendship and why that matters for performance07:30 — "If we brought corporates to watch a Wallabies camp, they'd go... do you guys even like each other?"10:00 — The Tuesday night team dinner test and why everyone scanned the room for Slips13:25 — Nic's career in one line: never really felt wanted. 77 test caps later, here's what kept him going17:55 — The "f*** you" fuel: where it came from, and how long it ran on it22:10 — When the chip on the shoulder finally became something else and the moment Nic stopped playing for himself28:35 — Slips on stumbling into a career and what reinvention actually looks like39:20 — Post-career surgery, sepsis, and the moment the invincible mindset ran out of road43:05 — "Fragile." Not a word you expect from Nic White.

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?

You know what you should be doing. More sleep. Better recovery. Less time running on empty. You have known it for years. So has every burned-out doctor, executive, and elite athlete Andrew May has ever worked with. The problem is not knowledge. It is the gap between knowing and doing. And most people are misdiagnosing the reason for that gap entirely.Andrew May is a Mental Skills and Leadership Coach who has worked with ASX executives, elite sporting teams (Wallabies), and the Australian Defence Force. Andrew gets honest about his own near-burnout at 40, what it took to turn it around, and why even the most informed, high-functioning people are still getting recovery wrong.From there, it gets practical. What strategic recovery actually looks like inside a high-demand schedule. Why most people calling it burnout are actually chronically under-recovered. The exercise prescription that builds real performance capacity without flogging yourself. And how to finally close the gap between what you know and what you do.This one is for doctors. It is also for anyone who has been running hard for too long and suspects the wheels are starting to wobble.00:00 Burnout rates in medicine are above 80%, yet doctors know more about the body than almost anyone. Why the gap?05:14 Andrew's own near-burnout at 40: marriage breakdown, external validation, and the mate from Dubbo who cracked it open.10:44 Most people calling it burnout are actually chronically under-recovered. Andrew explains the difference.13:04 What strategic recovery looks like in practice, including how Andrew applies it with the Australian Defence Force.20:25 Why physical activity is not recovery, and the exercise prescription that actually builds performance capacity.26:02 Sleep deprivation degrades judgment, memory and decision-making. Andrew challenges the eight-hour myth.28:47 A simple plate-based nutrition framework, intermittent fasting for men over 40, and why women need a different approach.34:14 How to close the gap between knowing and doing: self-reflection, barrier mapping, and building real accountability.40:10 Key messages, close, and why how you show up changes how everyone around you performs.This episode was originally published on the Healthed podcast with Dr David Lim.

Michael Hooper played 125 tests for the Wallabies, captained Australia across three World Cup campaigns, and walked away from the game at 32. In this episode, we discuss what happens when the thing you built your whole life around stops. We got into the mental health side of professional rugby, the overthinking that fuelled his preparation but nearly pulled him under during a tour in Argentina in 2022, where everything unraveled in 48 hours and he made the call to fly home mid-series. We talked about what it's like to be a captain telling your team you need to step away, and how he came back months later and played some of the best rugby of his career. We also went deep on fatherhood, how having kids changed his relationship with the game, the guilt of chasing personal ambitions while wanting to be present, and the selfishness required to compete at the highest level. As someone about to become a dad, this one hit different for me. Hoops also shared the three attributes he's seen cross over from elite sport to corporate life, what Ben Crowe taught him about playfulness under pressure, and what he'd tell his 18-year-old self if he could go back.

The All Blacks and Wallabies are poised to meet in an Anzac Day test match next year. The New Zealand Herald reports it is now almost certain that the All Blacks will travel to Australia —likely Perth— for the Bledisloe Cup test in April. It would form part of a three-game series in 2027, while the sides will also square off in pool play at the World Cup next year. NZ Herald's Gregor Paul told Piney that for the coaching team, the match would provide a short window during Super Rugby to effectively test out where they will be playing in the World Cup ahead of time. However, he said, it does put a lot of pressure on the players to train over the summer so they're ready for Super Rugby, and then maintain their form right through to November.

Matthias Utzinger und seine Frau Lauren haben in Tasmanien ihren Traum vom eigenen Weingut verwirklicht. Im kühlen Klima des Tamar Valley haben die beiden aus einer ehemaligen Schaffarm ein kleines Paradies für Weinliebhaber geschaffen: «Wir haben uns sofort in dieses Stück Land verliebt.» Matthias Utzinger aus Wädenswil (ZH) arbeitete auf Weingütern im In- und Ausland, darunter fünf Jahre in Südfrankreich. 2015 bereiste er die Welt auf der Suche nach dem idealen Ort für seinen Weinberg. Dabei lernte er seine heutige Frau Lauren kennen: «Sie lud mich über Weihnachten zu sich nach Tasmanien ein. In diesem Moment wusste ich: Hier gehöre ich hin und finde meinen Weinberg.» Gemeinsam starteten sie das Herzensprojekt. Das Abenteuer des eigenen Weinanbaus begann 2018. Im Norden der Insel, mit Blick auf den Tamar River, bewirtschaften sie heute ihr Gut. Während der Ernte sind die Tage lang. Viele stellen sich den Winzer romantisch auf der Veranda vor, wie er auf seine Rebberge blickt, sagt Matthias schmunzelnd: «In Wirklichkeit sitze ich die meiste Zeit auf dem Traktor, aber ich liebe die Arbeit im Rebberg.» Exotische Schädlinge Tasmanien bringt auch Herausforderungen mit sich, die im europäischen Weinbau unbekannt sind. Kängurus und Wallabies bedienen sich gerne an den Trauben, weshalb die Utzingers ihre Reben mit Netzen schützen müssen. Gleichzeitig lassen sie viel Land in seinem natürlichen Zustand, um ein gesundes Ökosystem zu fördern, inklusive giftiger Schlangen und Spinnen, die hier heimisch sind.

Dave Rennie's All Blacks era begins, and we're diving straight into the deep end.In this episode of The Bonus Point (recorded live at Three Weavers Brewing Company in Inglewood CA), Tj is joined by Alfonso Horomia (Pig Athletic - Rugby Heads Podcast) to break down one of the biggest coaching storylines in New Zealand rugby: Dave Rennie replacing Scott “Razor” Robertson as All Blacks head coach. We unpack how Robertson's tenure unraveled, what Rennie's Māori and Cook Islands background and coaching journey (Chiefs, Wallabies, Glasgow, Kobe) bring back to the black jersey, and why current and former players are so bullish on his ability to rebuild culture, clarity and edge. We also look ahead to the brutal “Rugby's Greatest Rivalry” tour of South Africa and ask what a long, old-school tour against the Springboks could do for this new-look All Blacks side.In the second half, we shift into Super Rugby Pacific mode. After four rounds, we talk through who's actually setting the pace: the Brumbies' consistency, the Chiefs' attacking fireworks, the Hurricanes' statement win, and what Beauden Barrett's return means for the Blues. We pick out early-season standouts, surprise performers, and a few red flags for the traditional powerhouses.To finish, we hit our Bonus Point segment with some fast-paced, rugby-themed questions and predictions to tie everything together—Rennie, the Boks tour, and the Super Rugby race.

Most leaders know how to ramp up for performance. Far fewer know how to switch off. Operating at full speed all day without deliberately down-regulating keeps the brain and body in a prolonged stress state - impairing decision-making, recovery and next-day performance.Andrew May (Mental Skills Coach to the Wallabies) explains why the ability to shift gears is a critical leadership skill, particularly for those operating under constant cognitive load.He also shares a simple breathing technique that can lower your heart rate and begin calming the nervous system in under 30 seconds.Want to hear to the full episode?

David Rennie has been named the new All Blacks coach, beating out Jamie Joseph for what many call the most pressured job in world rugby. The former Chiefs and Wallabies coach will lead the national team through to the 2027 Rugby World Cup in Australia Rennie also becomes the first All Blacks coach with Pasifika heritage. For reaction veteran sports journalist and broadcaster Phil Gifford chats to Jesse.

The man appointed today as the coach to take the All Blacks to next year's Rugby World Cup is Dave Rennie. And he's got his work cut out for him. He can't start fulltime with the All Blacks until June - he has to finish his contract in Japan first. That wraps up in May, which means there's a very tight turnaround before the first test against the French in early July. Then he's got the Italians, then the Irish, and then the South Africans. Baptism of fire, much? And in just over 18 months, he'll be heading into the Rugby World Cup. Lifting that trophy is going to be a challenge but it's not impossible. Rassie Erasmus famously took over in 2018 and won the Rugby World Cup with the Springboks the next year. And you could argue the Springboks back then were more of a hot mess than the All Blacks are now, ahead of Rennie taking over. It's also worth remembering that coaching at international level isn't new ground for Rennie. He was the Wallabies' coach before he was dumped for the disaster that was Eddie Jones. But if you look at his record with that squad, it's not exactly inspiring. He had a 38 percent win rate, which makes Razor's 74 percent win rate look positively outstanding. But if you're being generous, you'd have to say Rennie had the odds stacked against him with the Wallabies -COVID disruptions, too many tests against the All Blacks, injuries, player unavailability. He still managed to beat South Africa twice, which is no small feat. And neither of his successors - Eddie Jones nor Joe Schmidt - have done much better. Rennie's appointment also brings a couple of firsts. The headline one is that he's the first All Blacks coach of Pasifika descent. But the first I'm enjoying today is this: while it's not unusual for ex-All Blacks coaches to take over the Wallabies, this is the first time the All Blacks have been taken over by a former Wallabies coach.
