Episode Notes

Which England player is compared to an annoying little brother? Ugo, Danny and Chris praise England's gameplan against Australia and heap praise on Sale's Tom Roebuck. Was it a red? Should it have even been a yellow? We debate the highly controversial Tadhg Beirne dismissal in Chicago and what went wrong for Ireland in the final 20 minutes as the All Blacks avenged their 2016 loss. We also discuss Antoine Dupont's new Toulouse deal and look ahead to this weekend's matches as the Steve Tandy regime begins. Plus, who should be in the frame for World Player of the Year?
