Most rugby players don't plan for life after the game — because everything in the professional environment tells you to focus on right now. Semisi Telefoni, aka "The Wine Chief," is a Tongan New Zealander who played professional rugby in France for over a decade, and then did something very deliberate: he found his passion, used his rugby network to fund his education, competed for one of 13 spots in an MBA programme at the Burgundy School of Business, and built a career in the wine industry from the ground up. This conversation is for every player starting to feel the signs — and for the families supporting them through it.
WHAT'S COVERED:
• Why professional rugby's full-time demands make post-career planning hard — and why the transition still catches most players off guard
• How Semisi first became curious about wine through faith, French family culture, and life on the road as a professional player
• The family conversation: what his wife Alison, his mum, and his Tongan peers said when he told them he was going to study wine in France
• Provale — the French player transition organisation that helped Semisi access government support, course funding, and 80% of his final salary during his study window (and what the equivalent looks like for players in other unions)
• What studying wine while still playing professional rugby actually looked like: WSET books on the team bus, online courses at Carcassonne, and carving out Sunday and Monday study windows around the professional programme
• How Semisi negotiated a package with an amateur club in Nuits-Saint-Georges, Burgundy — house, car, and MBA fees covered — in exchange for playing rugby, while completing his master's at the Burgundy School of Business (selected from 500 applicants for 13 places)
• The bias Pacific Islanders still face in non-traditional industries, and how Semisi carries himself through it
• What rugby skills — showing up, relationships, resilience under pressure — transferred directly into a career in wine sales
• Semisi's direct advice to any player aged 24–28 playing overseas with no plan: find your passion, contact Provale or its equivalent, start talking, and start now
• What Semisi would tell his younger, stressed-out self: chill out, talk to someone, and trust that making mistakes is part of building what comes next
TIMESTAMPS: (00:09) Intro — why life after rugby matters and the context of Semisi's story (02:57) Rugby is only a sliver of your life — the professional era and what it cost players (04:08) When Semisi started thinking about what comes next — final seasons at Agen and Carcassonne (06:20) How wine entered his story — from church sacrament to French family dinners (08:18) Family reaction — wife Alison, his mum, his Tongan peers, and his rugby mates (10:46) Provale — France's player transition organisation and how to access support (12:46) What studying wine alongside professional rugby actually looked like (16:07) The MBA decision — Burgundy School of Business, 500 applicants, 13 places (22:05) Why being immersed in France made the learning stick (23:55) Doubt during the master's — and how rugby taught him to push through (29:09) What the wine industry taught him about himself that rugby didn't (32:09) What rugby still shows up in how he works every day (35:21) Advice for the player aged 24–28 with no plan and a body saying stop (39:25) What he'd tell his younger, worried self looking back

Segment 3: Da Kuleana [Life After Rugby — Semisi'sTransition Story] Starts at (0:21:11) This is the one to save and share. Semisibreaks down exactly how he went from a Tongan kid in Auckland singing in churchchoir to a professional lock in France — and then, as his body started tellinghim the truth in his final season at Agen, how he began building something new.He talks about finding wine through sacrament, French family dinners andteammates, and then actioning his curiosity: WSET books on the team bus, onlinecourses at Carcassonne, and eventually winning one of 13 places in acompetitive MBA program at the Burgundy School of Business in Dijon — where henegotiated a house, a car, and paid fees from a local amateur club inNuits-Saint-Georges just to be surrounded by the world's greatest pinot noirswhile he studied. He covers: how Provale (France's player transitionorganisation) helped unlock the system; what his wife Alison, his mum, and hisTongan mates said when he told them; how being Pacific Islander opened a doorat his first wine job back in New Zealand; and the bias he still faces in theindustry today. His advice to any player aged 24–28 feeling the signs: findwhat you enjoy, contact your players' association, start talking, and startnow.

If you're a rugby league player — or the parent or coach of one — wondering whether rugby union is worth considering, this is the conversation you need to hear. ofahelotu (Sydney, Australia) tells his full story: from chasing the NRL dream in Victoria, to turning down a Raiders trial, to eventually becoming a professional Rugby Union prop who played in France.
WHAT'S COVERED:
• Why Victoria produces almost no NRL or Super Rugby players — and why moving to NSW or Queensland is often the only path forward for ambitious players
• How the NRL junior pathway works (Harold Matthews, SG Ball, Jersey Flegg) and why missing the system at 16–18 closes doors for good
• The decision to switch codes at 23 — not a plan, but an opportunity recognised at the right time
• The technical adjustments from league to union: tackling, rucking, pilfering, lineout lifting, and why scrummaging took four to five years to fully commit to
• The honest lesson ofahelotu wishes he'd learned sooner — scrum first, everything else second — and how that mindset shift is what turned his career professional
• The cultural differences between league and union clubs: the community, the demographics, the off-field dynamics, and how Pacific identity fits into both environments
• What advice he'd give a young Pacific league player being scouted by or considering union today — including the growing NRLW crossover affecting women's pathways too
• His final answer: if he could go back, he'd use league to become athletic and professional, and union to build the tactical and technical skills — keep your options open

The centrepiece of the episode is a deeply personal Kuleana — ofahelotu shares his full journey from Rugby League hopeful in Victoria to professional Rugby Union prop, and what young Pacific players can learn from it.
Segment 1: Talk Story Starts at (0:50) ofahelotu opens with a big weekend recap — a Greek Orthodox wedding complete with plate smashing and a surprise haka, a netball carnival, and a rowing dinner. The boys catch up on their club coaching results, with Gordon and Barker both picking up wins.

He breaks down the pathway differences between the two codes, the cultural shift moving from league clubs to union clubs, the technical adjustments (especially scrummaging), and what he'd tell a young Pacific League player considering the switch today. This segment is evergreen — essential listening for any player, parent, or coach navigating the league-to-union conversation.
Segment 5: Opinion — 2026 State of Origin Starts at (1:10:42) The 2026 State of Origin squads for Game 1 are out, and the boys break down the biggest rule change in the competition's history — eligibility now extended to players who represented Tier 2 nations (Tonga, Samoa, New Zealand, England) but grew up in NSW or Queensland. Both squads are examined player by player, with ofahelotu and Semisi naming their picks, debating the axing of Jarome Luai, and discussing what the new rule means for the future of the game and Pacific communities.
Outro Starts at (1:21:32) The boys wrap up with their weekly tips tally — ofahelotu leads Semisi 301 to 298. Next week: European final results, URC and Championship Rugby quarterfinals, and full Origin Game 1 reaction. Send your questions to [email protected].

This week on Talking About A Carpool, host ofahelotu(Sydney, Australia) flies solo — Semisi Telefoni, aka "The WineChief" (Auckland, New Zealand), takes the week off. ofahelotu breaks downthe latest European rugby results across four competitions, then goes deep onwhat's really holding Australian rugby back, why Wallabies should be playing inEurope, and what a coaching change at Manly Sea Eagles reveals about winningculture in team sport.
Segment 1: Da Latest Scoop Starts at (4:46) ofahelotu runsthrough Round 15 of the English Premiership — Leicester's surprise 41–17 winover leaders Northampton, Newcastle's heavy loss to Harlequins, and Exeterclosing in on the top four. He covers the final round of Championship Rugby,where Ealing secured their 26th consecutive win (52–14 over Bedford) andCambridge were relegated, then moves through the URC — Glasgow back on top,Leinster winning, and Ulster drawing with the Stormers in a result that shookthe standings. He rounds out with Top 14 Round 23 (Toulouse leading at 82points, Montauban officially relegated) and the Pro D2, where Vannes arepromoted and the battle for the final promotion spot is still alive.
Segment 2: Da Big Wave (Opinion — Super Rugby & WinningCulture) Starts at (20:57) No formal kuleana this week, but ofahelotu doesn'thold back. He gives an honest assessment of why Super Rugby isn't what it usedto be — the drain of talent to Europe, the narrowing of pathways afterprofessionalism arrived, and how the lack of real competition within Australianfranchises has stalled development. He argues that until Super Rugby lifts itsstandard, the best Australian players should be competing in Europe — just likeSocceroos playing in the Premier League or La Liga — and that the Wallabies'new eligibility rules make that a genuine reality for players like ThomasStaniforth. He then draws on NRL culture as a lens: Manly's turnaround underKieran Foran (four wins from five), Melbourne's trust in Craig Bellamy througha seven-game losing streak, and his own experiences winning a grand final toexplain what it actually takes to build belief, trust, and a culture that hasmemory.
Outro Starts at (45:08) ofahelotu wraps up a rare soloepisode and teases upcoming kōrero with Semisi when he's back — includingtopics like faith and football, navigating identity as a Pacific player in aprofessional environment, and what rugby teaches you about life beyond thegame.

Grassroots rugby clubs in New Zealand and Australia are merging, shrinking, and disappearing — not because people stopped loving the game, but because not enough people are showing up for it off the field. This Da Kuleana breaks down exactly what parents, players, former players, and community members can do right now to keep their local club alive. If you came through a rugby club, owe something to one, or want your kids to have what you had — this is the episode to share.
WHAT'S COVERED:
• Why parental presence at training — not just game day — directly affects how players perform and how coaches run their sessions
• The sideline culture problem: how yelling at junior referees, second-guessing volunteer coaches, and avoiding canteen and barbecue duty is quietly killing clubs from the inside
• What players owe the club: showing up consistently through winter, respecting the facilities, and the lesson from a South African international captain who refused to leave a changing room without a broom
• How former players can give back without committing to a full season — specialist clinics (scrums, lineouts, kicking), committee roles, and staying connected to players coming through
• The community member angle: attending games without having kids in the club, buying raffle tickets, business sponsorship, growing the club's social media to attract sponsors, and season memberships
• The church-club connection and how a strong grassroots rugby environment can be a direct alternative to teenagers feeling disconnected from community
TIMESTAMPS: (0:09) Introduction — what is Da Kuleana and what's the topic this week (3:32) Parent angle: showing up to training, not just games (9:29) Bringing the right energy to the sideline — junior referees and accountability (11:44) Supporting the committee — volunteering, not just complaining about fees (13:49) Talking to the coach — how and why parents should communicate properly (16:39) Player angle: committing to the season and showing up consistently (17:37) Bringing a mate — why recruitment is the club's hardest job and how players can help (19:57) Don't quit when it gets hard — the lesson of the 130th year (27:21) Know your role as a senior player — being a role model to juniors at the club (29:44) Former player angle: staying connected and giving back to your club (31:00) Community member angle: attending games, watching footy without having kids involved (31:58) Business sponsorship, fundraising, raffle tickets — and the Ben Roddick story (36:50) Growing the club's social media to attract sponsors and new players (38:32) The church-club connection and keeping teenagers connected to community

• The role of your support circle — parents, coaches, ministers, and like-minded peers — in your development as a player
• How to ask good questions of coaches, trainers, and online resources (including AI tools) to build a personalised preparation plan
• Why sacrifice isn't about missing out — it's about maximising the short athletic window you have, with the rest of your life still ahead of you
