England are up and running this Autumn after seeing off Australia 25-7 at Twickenham.
Alan, Charlie, Charles and Gav dissect the win and the overall performance which has been crowned as 'peak Borthball' by Charlie Morgan.
Tommy Freeman's performance at centre comes under scrutiny, we discuss if it's an experiment worth sticking with or if he is better utilised back on the wing
Elsewhere there is high praise for the 6-2 bench and questions over the Wallabies who looked tired after a long summer.
Away from Twickenham, New Zealand won their Soldier Field rematch with Ireland in a largely forgettable game. There is some criticism for the event as a whole too and Gavin suggests there is lessons to be learned for America before their staging of the World Cup in 2031
Plus, we take a look ahead to a huge weekend of games coming up and tackle all your questions as usual too.
