About this episode
The episode discusses recent rugby matches involving Ireland, England, Wales, Scotland, and Italy, highlighting key performances and upcoming derbies.
Ireland ran in five at HQ and exposed England's discipline and defensive frailties. Wales threw everything at Scotland but one lapse cost them. And while the scoreline didn't flatter them, Italy's pack made it very clear they're no longer here to make up numbers. We check in on Ellis Park and look ahead to the SA derbies too.
