This week on the Science for Sport podcast, host Richard Graves dives into the world of Rugby League with two seasoned professionals, Scott Taylor and Ben Jones-Bishop. Between them, they boast over 30 years of experience, 250 tries, and a lifetime of lessons from the pitch.

Scott reflects on his transition from a 14-year career—highlighted by Grand Final wins and international caps—to taking the reins as head coach of the newly formed Goole Vikings. Meanwhile, Ben shares the secrets behind his longevity, the challenges of balancing professional sport with medical setbacks, and the pride of representing Jamaica in their first Rugby League World Cup.

Together, they explore the evolution of rugby league: from advancements in player welfare and GPS technology to managing the brutal physicality of the modern game. With candid insights into life on and off the field, including the sacrifices and strategies for recovery, this episode is a must-listen for sports enthusiasts and aspiring athletes alike.
