He's been part of the Welsh squad for around a decade and is a Rugby World Cup veteran but you'd be forgiven for not knowing too much about Andre Moore.
But Wales' secret weapon is literally fuelling the nations' hopes and dreams.
Formerly of the Vale resort - the Welsh squad's South Wales training base -Ward has also worked at Michelin star restaurant Le Gavroche with the Roux brothers, but has travelled across the globe during Warren Gatland's reign.
Speaking to WalesOnline last year during the Six Nations championship Moore revealed the players' nutritional targets vary depending on position and bodyweight but they'll be looking to hit between 200-400g carbs and 150-250g of protein per day. Each meal throughout the day is geared towards hitting their numbers.
And the end goal is somewhere in the region of 3000-3500 calories a day.
Speaking to Sportsmail Moore said: "Sometimes they have to force themselves to eat - if they've done a hard session it can be difficult to get a whole plate of food down you.
"We use organic items as much as we can. Occasionally they get secret treats. I use healthy cheesecakes and things like that.
"That always comes after a hard session or a game.
"Most of the time we look at low-sugar products, or something as close as possible."
In March WalesOnline were given access to the Wales squad kitchen when the squad were staying in Nice during the Six Nations.
There we were given a glimpse of what the players were eating:

For this World Cup Moore and his team have spent almost a year discussing menus with Japanese hotels the team are staying at.
24 pallets of food have been shipped to Japan eight weeks ago - three for each hotel.
At Wales' Swiss training camp earlier this summer Moore had to transport barbecue grillers up a gondola to feed the team at 2,000m above sea level
The chef said: "I've been to New Zealand, Samoa, Argentina, USA and now Japan.
"They all individually have their highlights and challenges.
"I'm very lucky."
