0:00.0	The Autumn Nation series is well underway and it's almost time for what could be the biggest game of the year, France versus South Africa.
0:06.5	I feel like the box have such a psychological advantage over France at the moment until France beat them.
0:13.6	Can Scotland make history and beat the All Blacks?
0:16.9	They don't do it this weekend. I'm not sure they do, lads. Ever. And we make Coley relive England's infamous loss against Fiji in 2023. There's a squad, it was like, if we carry on the way we're going to go, we're going to get embarrassed to get at this World Cup. Yeah, thanks, lads. I'm Dan. Ben Young's Danty Watson are here, and this is your

1:19.1	But I think, you know, especially if Sasha Feinberg is at 10 or Mani Levoque is at 10,
1:25.7	I think that they try and play a slightly more expansive game.
1:29.0	And I think that if France come and play their traditional French game and South Africa
1:34.3	play that more expensive style, I think we've got a hell of a game on our hands.
1:40.2	I'm praying that it's dry.
1:43.0	So we don't see 45 scrums
