Boks Batter England, Ireland Wallabies Thriller & Scotland Fly + John Smit Joins the Rugby Pod!

We break down a blockbuster opening round of the Nations Championship, with Ireland edging a thriller against Australia, Scotland lighting it up in Argentina, Wales finally finding back-to-back wins, and South Africa overpowering England at Ellis Park. The lads dig into the big tactical talking points, from Ireland’s grit and Scotland’s attacking threat to England’s lack of direction and Borthwick's pressure, before being joined by Springbok legend and World Cup-winning captain John Smit to talk Boks dominance, Rassie’s machine and whether anyone can stop South Africa.
