Wow, how luck we were to witness four amazing RWC 2023 quarter finals, a real mix of drama in the afternoon games and simply the best rugby ever in the evening games. France, Ireland take a bow, but you are going home, with your heads held high, as are Fiji and Wales.

So just four games out of 48 remain, with Argentina v New Zealand (how great was that Irish win) on Friday evening and England (still undefeated) v South Africa (no friends but smartest team ever?).

A reduced cast of Tony, Tim, Al and James chew the fat for an hour plus on all that matters.

The 10th RWC is only a week away but don't panic as the OATH panel has analysed each of the four pools and predicted who will make the quarter finals, semi-finals and who will win the tournament.

And no expense was spared in order to ensure the panel was refreshed and ready to get off that fence to tell you exactly how it will be over the next couple of months en France. Oh yes, thanks to Dominic and the team at Selby Anderson in London we were able to meet in person in a real podcast studio (most of us anyway) and chew the fat over a couple of ales from our sponsors.

A Scot, an Aussie, a Welshman, an Irishman and two Englishman discussing the rise of Fiji, Samoa and South Africa along with the demise of Japan and England. And whatever the outcome we all hope rugby will be the winner. 

Enjoy the spectacle and see you in Marseilles, Bordeaux, Lille, Nice or Paris.

 Al Buckle goes solo to share his reflections on Scotland's historic Calcutta Cup win on Saturday, the first (with crowds) since 1983, and Scotland's third win a row against England, which now sees them ranked at all time high of 5th in the world, ahead of England and Australia.

HOWEVER, it will mean nothing for the players and the fans unless they can back it up with a home win against Wales this weekend - this is a golden generation for Scotland and they have underperformed to date, so is 2023 their year?

Two wins from two games going to Paris, where they won two years ago (without crowds) is a good place to be, with Ireland and then Italy both at home. Dare to dream..

Last week the Four Home Nations made history by all winning their games against Southern Hemisphere opposition on home soil on the same day - it has never been done before. Can history repeat itself or will the Kiwis, Aussies, Safas and Argies repeat the clean sweep of Week 1? 

Distinguished panellists, "Swiss Tony" Harjette, Tim "Oracle" Bradley, James "To Be Sure" McKillop and Mark "Valleys" Jones get off the proverbial fence and debate who will take the spoils of the deciders this Saturday. With RWC 2023 just over a year away, and form everything, all to play for.

Four weeks in and the tournament climaxes this weekend with Super Saturday. Our expert panel of "Don" Tony Harjette, James McKillop and Al Buckle review Round 4 games and look forward to final round of games of Six Nations 2022.

Wales v Italy - with home nation so impressive at Principality, the only question is how much they will win by and Italy are not playing Scotland so will be average.

Ireland v Scotland - Gregor has dropped Finn to the bench for only second time in his career to see how Blair Kinghorn fares at 10 against a very good Ireland side before teams meet in same group of RWC 2023.

France v England - surely the best French team in 10 years will not blow the Slam at home, especially against a stuttering England side with Fairbank at 15?

Three weeks in and panel of Mark Jones, James McKillop and Al Buckle review Round 3 games and look forward to penultimate weekend of Six Nations 2022.

Wales v France - is this French side the real deal or will Wales impressive home form continue and upset the pommes cart?

England v Ireland - Eddie has picked the lightest English backline ever so will the best Irish team for years be able to win the arm wrestle and deliver on their promise?

Italy v Scotland - the last time Scots lost in Rome was 2012, and they are a much better team now, whereas Italy have not progressed at all, so should a rare away win for Scotland eh?

Two weeks down of 2022 Six Nations so panel analyse the two big games of the third weekend, especially Wales visit to Twickenham:
