Episode Notes

The Northern Tour served up another weekend of drama - starting with Tadhg Beirne's red card. Did the call ruin the match, or was it the right decision?

JK, Victor Matfield and Andrew Trimble dig into all the big talking points, including the Springboks–France rivalry and why Victor is worried about what the French are building.

We also chat Scotland - are they finally turning the corner, could they beat the All Blacks?

If you’ve got a take on the red card, drop it in the comments – we want to hear it.
