Shaun and Thala review the weekend's test matches, which include South Africa putting 50 on Georgia and ending their July matches unbeaten.
We first start with the British and Irish Lions victory over Australia in the first test. We debate whether the Wallabies were undercooked and what changes they need to make to save the series and rave about the performances of Tom Curry and Finn Russell for the Lions.
Then we take a review of teh Boks July tests and discuss which players haveraised their stocks, how much depth the team has and how will Rassie manage the transition from the experienced players to the younger players. We discuss the great form Grant Williams is in and whether we are concerned about Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu.
We move to the New Zealand completing the series sweep on France which leaves us with more questions than answers - some players stood up like Fabian Holland, but are the All Blacks improving under Scott Robertson? We discuss which players stood out for France and the future Theo Attisogbe has in the national team.
Finally we congratulate Zimbabwe for qualifying for the 2027 Rugby World Cup, with a lot of help from the Cape Town club rugby scene and we look forward to the Women's Boks facing the Black Ferns this weekend.
