Alfie, Will and Charlie look ahead to the second weekend of November.
They're at the England training base to preview their match against Japan. Who is playing for a spot in the World Cup squad? Will Max Ojomoh take his opportunity? And, how can the Japanese cause England problems?
Plus, Mark Palmer looks ahead to Scotland's game against Australia and the boys tee up the rest of the weekend's action by asking: Can an injury-hit France beat South Africa? And, who out of Scotland, Argentina, Italy and Australia are most desperate for a win?
