This episode of the pod is all about the home nations in the Autumn Internationals – which means a return of the home nations gang! Chris is joined by BBC Wales Scrum V pod host, Gareth Rhys Owen and Tom English from Radio Scotland’s Rugby Podcast as they delve into what we can expect from each nation during this weekend’s fixtures.

But not before a very gleeful Tom reminds Chris and GRO that his teams were the only ones to win over the past weekend. They look at what went wrong for England and Wales in their respective games against Argentina and the All Blacks and reflect on Eddie Jones’ recent comments.

The guys then debate if the pressure is on Wales head coach Wayne Pivac and should Finn Russell start for Scotland against New Zealand? Not only that it’s prediction time – as Chris, GRO and Tom try to guess the winners and losers at the weekend.
