We're celebrating our 500th episode as international rugby returns with the inaugural Nations Championship. We preview all the big North v South clashes, including England’s daunting trip to Ellis Park to face the Springboks, an injury-hit Ireland heading to Australia, Scotland’s shot at revenge against Argentina, Wales taking on a dangerous Fiji side in Cardiff, and France’s weakened squad facing the All Blacks. We look at all the main talking points like England captaincy, some potential weaknesses in the Springbok squad and some big decisions for Andy Farrell. Plus, there’s chat on Ellis Genge exit rumours, Toulouse’s Top 14 dominance, Bledisloe history, and some shoutouts from across the rugby community.
