Jordan sits down with Northland Taniwha and Hurricane, Josh Moorby. The outside back speaks on his move to the far North and his side's strong start to the Bunnings NPC before rolling into his childhood in Te Awamutu (05:54). The self-anointed battler reveals he only made the 1st XV at Hamilton Boys' High as injury cover in his final year and it wasn't until he played for Waikato in the National Sevens that he got his big break with Southland (14:01). After making his debut for the Stags in 2019, he went on to cement himself as a regular in the starting lineup and pushed for higher honours after being called into the Highlanders environment as a replacement player in 2020 (24:17). Moorby credits his experience with the southernmost Super franchise for his form in the back end of 2021 that saw him receive a full-time contract with the Hurricanes. He would go on to nab the Rookie of the Year award for his new club as well as getting named in the Māori All Blacks (29:53).

Jordan chats with Crusader and All Black, Mitchell Drummond. The halfback touches on his latest Super Rugby title and the red and blacks  formula for success before delving into where his journey began as a nipper in Nelson (12:17). Life moved quickly for Drummond when he left home as within a year of leaving of school he had a contract with the Crusaders (21:10). While he admits he probably wasn't ready for that level of rugby at that age, he credits the likes of Andy Ellis and Willi Heinz for helping fast-track his development. Since making his debut in 2014 he has gone on to become the youngest centurion for the club and played alongside a number of legends and lifelong friends. Drummond notes the relationships he's forged as one of the key reasons he's stuck around (33:14) at a time where many who haven't been a constant in a black jersey have cashed in offshore.

Jordan chews the fat with Taranaki Bull and Chief, Reuben O'Neill. The conversation opens with where the prop is at on the injury front before rattling off the battles that have kept him on the sideline, which includes a diabetes diagnosis whilst at high school (3:36). He went on to sign with his home province, Taranaki, where after a few years of service he was invited for a preseason with the Crusaders. Although he wouldn't earn a cap with the side, O'Neill credits his experience down south for playing a part in his selection for the All Blacks later that year (12:28). Having been exposed to the national set up and just earnt a full Super Rugby contract, injury would strike another cruel blow and force him to wait until 2020 to make his debut for the Chiefs (19:00). It was during this period that he doubled down on his health science studies and led to him launching his business - Optimal Human (24:47).
