    Another good episode, by christ the nutritionist chick was uninspiring. I'd listen to her speech and wanna go for some greasy takeaways right away. Piri Weepu told the camera he was a big fan of burgers. This is a surprise to no one.

    Frank Bunce has a newborn at 58 ?!?!?! fuck that for a joke !!! he also has a 34 year old who is a good touch player.

    Every single ex player comes across as such a good bloke, none more so than Eroni Clarke. I struggle to believe he was ever capable of the kind of physicality and aggression he showed all those years ago judging from his demeanor. Poor old Ron Cribb got some bad news though #spoilers.....

    58???? How old is his missus? Something tells me that dude won't be changing any nappies.

    @MN5 I can’t believe he has a one year old at his age, I wonder if he struggles to pull out of his driveway

    You are all given far too much attention. That is the problem.

    Pulling out would have been a solution in the first place for sure.

    @dK

    Cheers for that.

    Was funny when they mentioned that these guys hadn't played rugby for 2 decades and the showed 37 year old Weepu.

    Hope this show makes some changes. That touch game was particularly hard to watch.

    @canefan I think there was a bit more to this show than getting in shape physically and preparing for this game, but equally getting the message out about sharing your struggles to get right mentally too

    Just watched the last episode. Those guys were my heros as a kid and it is great to see them together, and the struggles with life after their success is completely understandable.

    Must be hard for any ex sportsman to adjust to life. The body craps out.. unless your Ritchie of course and it just keeps going abs going, but we know he’s a freak.
    They spend most of their 20s and 30s even in a bubble where everything is planned for them and looked after. Then oneday it’s over.
    Have enjoyed their comradery during the show too

    Really hard to adapt. I have gone from airline captain to businessman / property developer.
    A gauranteed income, to fucking earn it or go broke.

    Some of those guys are my age, some are running a business, some are working for others I assume, but the change is immense and not being able to do a job that you love anymore...Well.

    Yeah I think ( hang on just let me put my grumpy old man hat on ) that the fact a lot of them are in their 40s like me makes me resonate with them heaps more than Akira, Reiko, Aaron, TJ and whoever else is playing today.
