Some great yarns this week, from the strategic punch that floored Vermuelen to which All Blacks are the biggest athletic freaks.

Legendary All Blacks strength and conditioning coach Nic Gill joins Ross and Jippa. We announce a new partnership with Nic's Rugby Ready program, where you can win Nic's online fitness programs every week on the show, whether you're a player or just looking to get healthy.

We ask who the greatest ever Super Rugby loose forward trio in Super Rugby is and whether Kini Naholo will replace Mark Tele'a in the All Blacks.

For every remaining show of ARP’s 2025 season, we’ll give away either …

• 1 free four-week training programme membership, including physical and mental skills coaching.

• Or 1 free training e-book collection.

Just follow @rugbyready on Instagram and direct message “ARP,” this week’s unique entry word revealed in the show, as well as the reason you're the right person for the prize.

Even if you don’t win, you win, because we’ll provide a special ARP link for 75% off your first four weeks of the Perform membership or a discount on the e-book training collection.”
