Episode Notes
Chris and Grays are at Ellis Park to react to England’s comprehensive defeat by world champions South Africa. After an early Boks blitz, England fought back to make it close at half-time, so what was behind the Springboks’ dominant second-half display? Why were England bossed in key areas? And after five defeats in a row, how important is a win next weekend against Fiji? We hear from 50-cap man Cheslin Kolbe as well as England captain Jamie George and coach Steve Borthwick.
