The Rugby World Cup is just days away which means we are back with you every week from now until the tournament ends!

Ben, Charlie and Charles get stuck into the big talking points starting with England, who enter the competition in disarray following three defeats in four warm-up games and bans handed out to two of their key players in Owen Farrell and Billy Vunipola. We discuss their opener with Argentina and ask if Steve Borthwick's side are capable of pulling out a big performance when they need it most.

Nick Evans, who was part of Borthwick's coaching team during the Six Nations, joins the show to share his thoughts on England's chances and the role Marcus Smith could play after he featured at full-back during the warm-ups.

We also take a look at the standout games this weekend, including Friday night's opener between France and the All Blacks, and get stuck into your questions too.
