Summary

Our topic this week is attack in the modern game and we're joined by former England head coach and current Leinster assistant coach Stuart Lancaster. He sits down with Charlie to discuss how he prepares and coaches his sides to attack.

But before that, Ben, Charlie and Charles look back on an action-packed weekend of international rugby including England's shock defeat to Argentina in their opening game of the autumn. We discuss where it all went wrong for Eddie Jones' side and ask if the experiment of a Smith-Farrell-Tuilagi midfield needs to be scrapped. We also hear from Ellis Genge, who defended England's performance despite the defeat.

Fiona Tomas checks in from Auckland after England made it into a second consecutive World Cup Final after picking up their 30th consecutive win.

We also wrap up the rest of the action including wins for Ireland and Scotland and a thumping defeat for Wales, who came up against a rampant All Blacks side, before looking ahead to next weekend.

1:24.7	It was a very confusing performance.
1:30.6	Subdued, strange, yeah, really odd. And just kind of the most worrying thing is that there are recurring themes so they used up a lot of energy ahead of the 22 getting into
1:37.5	the 22 they had a lot more possession than i think they even anticipated we spoke before about how
