Pod, pod, pod. Rugby pod. Hello and welcome back to the rugby pod with me, Andy Gude, and my battered and bruised brother-in-arms, big Jim Hamilton. Yes, sir. I say battered and bruised. The reason for that is he was playing touch for 10 minutes last night in the 7-4-5 game. You know that that wasn't the case. We were there last night and it was for a brilliant course and we'll get into that and I did, let's be honest, put the fear of God into some of the rugby league legend. You say you put the... I took a few names, Andrew. I took a few names. You had the fear of God put into you after the WhatsApp messages and we'll get on to that. Anyway, the 745 game was unreal.

We also had a couple of top class internationals this weekend.

England pulled away from a very, very impressive Fiji team.

The Mighty Springboks, Jim's Mighty Springbox, gave France an absolute hammering at home.

Haven't I been told as well.

Yeah, a lesson.

They absolutely learned them in the words of the great Michael Holford. Even with 14 men on the field and Scotland, same as ever. So close, yet so far. Yes, sir. That's exactly right. Well, that did hurt more than the 745 game. But you know the drill is always, settle back, enjoy and make sure you're subscribed.

We're here. We're now. This is it. It's Spotify. This episode is presented by Ford and the new

Ford Ranger plug-in hybrid. Going hybrid definitely doesn't mean losing strength. The Ford Ranger

plug-in hybrid still carries a one-ton payload and toes up to three and a half tonnes.

In short, even though it's a plug-in hybrid, it's still packing all that Ranger muscle.

The new Ford Ranger Plug-in hybrid, more power, just in case. Order before the end of December

and get a free home charger included.

Well Jim, 745 game last night. I did the easy thing of holding a microphone and interviewing a few lads and you talked it up for the last few weeks saying

you're going to go out there and smash a few boys and then a couple of days before you're like

oh i don't think i can i don't my boots don't fit me turf toe me mauler's toe my shoulders my knees

everything and then fair play to you i've got down there at king's, and you've got the size 12 Copelandials on for size...

Two sizes, too small.

Yeah, for size 14 feet.

Your legs look like something out of a chicken shop, but the last chicken's left in on the stand.

Good quads, though.
