South Africa reminded everyone exactly why they're world champions, brushing England aside 45-21 at altitude in Johannesburg to open the new Nations Championship. Payno, Hask and Tins dig into where it really went wrong for England, not the early 17-0 hole (they clawed back to within three at half-time), but the, two costly yellow cards, and defensive system the boys argue isn't getting the best out of these players. It sparks a proper debate about whether Shaun Edwards is the "elephant in the room" England can't keep ignoring. The lads give their early thoughts on the tournament itself. Plus Wales' back-to-back wins, Dave Rennie's winning start with the All Blacks, Ireland's fightback in Australia.

Saracens, England and Lions legend Elliot Daly joins the boys for a wide-ranging conversation that's as entertaining off the field as he is on it. From his infamous first day at Wasps in full school uniform (briefcase very much denied), to three Lions tours, a siege-gun boot, and mentoring the next generation of English talent, Daly proves he's as sharp in the studio as he is at fullback. The lads also look ahead to a crunch Premiership clash with Exeter, dissect Mark McCall's coaching genius, and assess whether England's talented young squad can peak at the 2027 World Cup.
