About this episode
Ben, Charlie and Charles reflect on the second weekend of Autumn internationals which saw England stunned by a resurgent Australia at Twickenham
Steve Borthwick has now lost his six test matches in 2024 and up next is the visit of World Champions South Africa
Ahead of that game, we discuss if England are lacking in leaders, we also take a closer look at the defensive system and ask why it has struggled so much since the departure of Felix Jones.
Elsewhere it was a disappointing weekend all round for the home nations, with Scotland, Ireland and Wales all suffering defeat as well, Ben was in Murrayfield and tells us the Scots have plenty to be happy about despite defeat to the Springboks.
Plus we tackle all your questions as usual, including the possibility of French based players featuring for England and early Lions shouts too.
