About this episode
Alex Payne is joined by Mike Brown and former Scotland Captain John Barclay to break down Round 2 of the Nations Championship. The trio unpack South Africa's incredible depth, ask whether anyone can stop the Boks on the road to 2027, and debate whether Scotland's performance was a step forward despite the defeat.
Plus, England finally get back to winning ways against Fiji where Henry Pollock continues his remarkable rise. Will Steve Borthwick start him v Argentina? The guys give their verdict.
