• England topple the All Blacks for 10th straight win

  Chris is with Matt Dawson and Paul Grayson to bring you reaction to England's first victory over the All Blacks at home in 13 years. We chat to the superb George Ford who dropped two goals and scored a crucial penalty to help extend their winning run to 10 matches. Is he playing the best rugby of his career? We also hear from Scott Robertson after their Grand Slam hopes were ended and ask where it went wrong for New Zealand. And after only a ninth victory over the All Blacks in 120 years, is this the best win of the Steve Borthwick era?

• The Nations Pod

  It’s Nations Pod time ahead of the third weekend of the autumn internationals. Tom is still reeling from Scotland’s narrow defeat by New Zealand, calling it the greatest missed opportunity in Scottish rugby history. But can they respond against the dangerous Pumas? After losing to Argentina in Steve Tandy’s first match in charge, Wales now host Japan in a must-win game, with Gareth not even prepared to countenance a Welsh defeat. We also tackle the latest rugby jargon and ask whether England’s stacked bench will make the difference against the All Blacks.

• Ford and Steward return as England load the bench again

  Are England capable of beating the All Blacks for the first time since 2019? And is this side ready to take a big scalp? Ashy and Chris head to the England team hotel and chat to Steve Borthwick about his selection which sees George Ford return at fly-half and Fin Smith drop out of the 23-man squad. They also catch up with Freddie Steward who gives a fascinating insight into dealing with the high ball under the new laws and he gives us a detailed account of how he dislocated his finger against Australia. Chris has also been to see the New Zealand head coach Scott Robertson who wants to deliver a Grand Slam this autumn.

• 'Boks Office' drama in Paris and England's quest for 10

  Chris, Ugo and Danny unpick a jam-packed weekend of autumn rugby. The Springboks storm Paris with 14 men for another statement win. Are they the clear World Cup favourites two years out? Scotland fluff their lines yet again, will they ever end their All Blacks hoodoo under Gregor Townsend? England want to make 10 Test wins in a row but have injury concerns to deal with ahead of New Zealand's trip to Twickenham. What did we learn about Steve Tandy's Wales after they were humbled by Argentina? Plus, there was a big win for Italian rugby and more bold predictions for week three.

• England see off dangerous Fiji to set up All Blacks clash

  England have now won nine Test matches in a row after they finished strongly to beat Fiji 38-18 in Twickenham and set up a huge meeting with New Zealand next weekend. Chris, Matt Dawson and Paul Grayson react on-the-whistle from the Allianz Stadium, and we are also joined by England’s Jamie George and Fiji boss Mick Byrne. How much have England progressed over the past twelve months, and what areas will they need to improve on before next weekend? And who has presented Steve Borthwick with a selection dilemma? We also discuss Scotland’s heartbreaking defeat by the All Blacks and ask what lessons Gregor Townend’s side can take going forward.
