About this episode
Following the All Blacks sacking head coach Scott Robertson, Alfie, Will and Alex are joined by the New Zealand Herald's Liam Napier to explain why he's been given his marching orders just two years into his tenure. Was it down to losing the dressing room? Or was he not suited to the spotlight which comes with the role?
They also look back on the final round of the pool stages in the Champions Cup and explain why the format, despite its issues, is here to stay. They breakdown the last-16 and route to the final which could serve up some cracking ties and also look ahead to Steve Borthwick naming his England 6 Nations squad on Friday.
