The episode we feared having to make is here. In the aftermath of Eddie Jones being sacked by England & Steve being approached as his successor, Mike takes a leave of absence in both sadness and illness. Elliott & supersub Iain Morton try and make sense out of the news, piece together a plan for the rest of the season & try to stay as calm as possible. An action packed draw with Bristol is reviewed, as well as a discussion of the upcoming trip to Wales and running the rule over top drawer full-backs in the Homegrown Hero's XV.
