Nations Championship: Why Northern Hemisphere Beats Southern Hemisphere

International rugby returns this weekend and Ben Youngs has called in the cavalry ahead of the Nations Championship, with Springbok legend Steven Kitshoff and New Zealand broadcaster Ross Kyle joining the show.

With each host flying the flag for their side, Kitsie makes the case for the Springboks, Ross backs the All Blacks, and Ben takes on the challenge of defending the Northern Hemisphere.

We break down the strengths and weaknesses of the leading contenders, asking whether the Springboks can build on their recent success, whether the All Blacks are finding their feet under Dave Rennie, and which Northern Hemisphere nation poses the biggest threat.

Can England rediscover the form that made them one of the most exciting teams in world rugby?

Can France overcome their injury crisis and finally get the better of South Africa?

And could Ireland once again prove to be the Springboks' biggest nemesis?
