#9 England's Statement Win, Ireland's New Stars & Scotland's Plan B
2026-11-10
England silence the critics with a statement 45-22 victory over Australia as Steve Borthwick's side rediscover a physical edge and attacking ambition. Goodey and Biggs give some behind-the-scenes context from Allianz and break down what's changed for England, the brilliance of Feyi-Waboso, George Furbank's return and whether this is a team capable of challenging the best. Ireland put Argentina to the sword with Sam Prendergast answering his critics, Dan Sheehan running riot and some serious selection headaches emerging ahead of the Springboks. Jim and Scotland's wait for a first-ever victory over the All Blacks continues as Beauden Barrett delivers another masterclass, while Wales scrape past Japan despite another unconvincing performance. Elsewhere, the Springboks demolish Italy, Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu continues his remarkable rise and Antoine Dupont reminds everyone why he's considered the best player on the planet. Plus, controversial tackles, the smartest calls of the weekend and all the usual Rugby Pod chaos.
