Summary

Ben, Charlie and Charles reflect on another disappointing afternoon for England at Twickenham as their winless run stretched to five following a defeat to South Africa.


Was this latest defeat a result of bad tactics, or was it down to individual errors for the Springboks tries? They also address the fitness concerns after Steve Borthwick mentioned his side were not in the right condition when they arrived into camp a month ago.


Elsewhere things are much worse for Wales, they were thrashed by Australia in Cardiff, a result that extends their winless run to 11. Warren Gatland says he will consider his future following the result, so we take a look at who could realistically replace him.


Plus we get into the huge news surrounding a potential breakaway league for the games biggest stars and if any deal can be brokered.

Hello everybody. Welcome back to the Telegraph Rugby podcast. What a busy week. It's been huge news off the field.

0:43.2

Great games on the field as well over the Friday, Saturday and Sunday. We're going to do our best to try and dissect all of it for you over the next hour or so. I'm Ben Coles. I'm back in the studio and I'm joined by Charlie Morgan. Hi Charlie.

0:53.8

You're back, Colsey. I am. And hi Charles. You're here as well. Charles Richardson. Yes, I am.

0:57.7

Hello, everybody. Nice to be back and not just a floating head on the TV in the corner. So

1:02.2

that was a bit of variation. Yeah, I know. I'm sure. I'm sure. Charles, where have you been over the weekend? I was in Paris, France, New Zealand.

1:11.5

What a spectacle.

1:13.8

Great game.

1:19.1

I didn't think France were necessarily much to write home about,

1:23.0

but they won and they beat one of the world's form sides at the minute and got there by hook or by crook,

1:25.4

and I think a lot of teams could take a leaf out of their book at the minute.

1:29.3

I was going to say, it's better than some of their Six Nations rivals have done in recent weeks.

1:33.6

Charlie, you were a big twicken and small twicken and double for me, yeah, the big one on Saturday,

1:39.8

and then across the A316 at the Stoop for Sunday for England-A versus Australia A,

1:44.1

which was, yeah, a nice tonic actually to the sort of little bit gloomy the Saturday affair.
