Summary
Join the Telegraph's Ben Coles, Charlie Morgan & Charles Richardson as well as special guests every week throughout the Autumn Internationals.
Each episode will hone in on an important aspect of the game and to kick things off we will be hearing from England head coach Eddie Jones on the art of selection. He speaks exclusively to the podcast about his methods and why he pays little attention to what is said in the media. Jones also explains how he came up with the idea of 'finishers' and details the difference between scouting players in person compared to off the TV.
We also preview all of this weekend's games, including England-Argentina, and we hear from the Telegraph's Fiona Tomas who has been covering the Red Roses at the Women's World Cup.

| 0:51.3 | What did you learn? |
| 0:52.4 | I learnt from my very delicately crafted first |
| 0:55.7 | question that's both an art and the science a different things different facets that he considers |
