Episode 145 - All Blacks Secrets: Dr. Nic Gill on Building Rugby's Greatest Dynasty
Welcome to a throw back to one of our most popular podcasts!
For over 115 years, the All Blacks have set the standard in world rugby, becoming the most successful sports team in history. In this episode, Joint Dynamics’ Andrew Cox sits down with the man behind their physical edge: Dr. Nic Gill, long-time Strength & Conditioning coach to the New Zealand All Blacks.
Nic has taken the All Blacks to four Rugby World Cups, been on the sidelines for more than 200 tests, and was integral to their back‑to‑back World Cup wins in 2011 and 2015. He opens the doors to his world of high performance, sharing what it really takes to build, sustain, and evolve greatness at the elite level.
In this conversation, Gilly and Andrew dive into:
- Why having a home base in New Zealand ultimately didn’t work for the All Blacks.
- How dual international Brad Thorn helped shape the mindset of Sam Whitelock, the longest‑serving All Black at the time of recording with 153 caps (ahead of Richie McCaw’s 148).
- On‑ and off‑field stories of excellence with Jordie Barrett.
- The simple body‑composition strategy Nic gave Ma’a Nonu that helped him become virtually unstoppable.
- Conrad Smith hitting a bench‑press PB before a Rugby World Cup and being almost as stoked as winning the trophy itself.
- The common traits Nic has seen in great head coaches like Ian Foster, Sir Steve Hansen, and Sir Graham Henry.
- A powerful message for young athletes who dream of becoming an All Black—or reaching similar heights in their own sport.
