Alan Dymock is joined by Gavin Mairs, Charlie Morgan and Charles Richardson to unpack an incident-filled weekend of rugby action!England now have nine wins in a row under Steve Borthwick after seeing off the challenge from Fiji at Twickenham.It was another strong afternoon for Borthwick's 'Pom squad' while Fin Smith played well on his return to the No 10 shirt. We discuss if his performance was enough to earn him a start against the All Blacks on Saturday.Speaking of New Zealand, they edged past Scotland at Murrayfield thanks to some heroics from Damian McKenzie. We take a look at the threat the All Blacks pose and ask if England's favourite tag is justified.Elsewhere, South Africa laid down a serious marker by beating France with 14 men, Italy picked up a major win over Australia and it was a case of new coach, same result for Wales who were thumped by Argentina.Plus, Charles tells us why the bunker system is not fit for purpose and we tackle your questions as usual too!

How England blew away Australia with 'Borthball' and 'Pom Squad'
England are up and running this Autumn after seeing off Australia 25-7 at Twickenham.Alan, Charlie, Charles and Gav dissect the win and the overall performance which has been crowned as 'peak Borthball' by Charlie Morgan.Tommy Freeman's performance at centre comes under scrutiny, we discuss if it's an experiment worth sticking with or if he is better utilised back on the wingElsewhere there is high praise for the 6-2 bench and questions over the Wallabies who looked tired after a long summer.Away from Twickenham, New Zealand won their Soldier Field rematch with Ireland in a largely forgettable game. There is some criticism for the event as a whole too and Gavin suggests there is lessons to be learned for America before their staging of the World Cup in 2031Plus, we take a look ahead to a huge weekend of games coming up and tackle all your questions as usual too.

2025 Lions: Some good, some bad and some ugly
The Lions failed to make history in Sydney after losing the third and final Test against the Wallabies in the pouring rain.Alan and Charlie reflect on the third Test and ask if head coach Andy Farrell got his team selection right after he decided to name most of the same players who featured in the opening two matches.We also discuss the chaos during the game which forced it to be suspended for 30 minutes and if that had a factor in the result.Away from the final Test, we look back on the tour as a whole. We ask what worked and what didn't, and if Farrell is the right man to lead the Lions in New Zealand in four years time.As for Australia, have they shown enough in this series to warrant their status as a future touring country for the Lions?And we answer all your questions as usual too!
