Episode Notes

It's the second weekend of November internationals so Alfie, Alex and Elgan look ahead to the action.


They are at the England training base so discuss another very interesting squad selection from Steve Borthwick. Including Chandler Cunningham-South getting the opportunity at number 8, Maro Itoje dropping to the bench and Marcus Smith being deployed at full-back.


Plus, they look ahead to the other matches at the weekend, especially Wales v Argentina, France v South Africa and Scotland hosting New Zealand.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
