About this episode
Ben, Charlie and Charles are joined in Paris by the Telegraph's Chief Sports writer Oliver Brown ahead of England's Rugby World Cup semi-final against South Africa.
They run through the England starting line-up, which features three changes to the side that beat Fiji in the quarter-final and discuss if head coach Steve Borthwick has nailed his selection ahead of the biggest game of his coaching career.
We hear also from the England head coach who is embracing the tag of underdog heading into Saturday's clash.
South Africa named an unchanged side for the first time this tournament. We look at their strengths and ask if they have any weaknesses to exploit.
We also hear from their head coach Jacques Nienabar, who outlines where he thinks England could hurt the defending champions.
