Summary

England maintained their 100 per cent record in the Rugby World Cup after Steve Borthwick's side saw off Japan with a bonus-point win. But not everyone is happy with the performance.

Ben, Charlie and Charles reflect on the victory and ask why so many fans seem to be disgruntled with England, especially given their poor form prior to the tournament.

Australia face the very real threat of being knocked out in the pool stages for the first time in their history after Eddie Jones’ team lost to Fiji. The Wallabies now have a must-win clash with Wales on Sunday to stand any chance of making it into the final eight.

We speak to former Australia skipper James Horwill about the current state of the side and the reaction Down Under.

Plus, the guys look ahead to the weekend which includes a mouthwatering clash between Ireland and South Africa.
