In an emotional episode, we finally say goodbye to the 1987 Rugby World Cup. It's been a long journey, but we finally wrap it up by each picking a team, game and try of the tournament. Last but not least, we ultimately crown our Rugby World Cup 1987 Player Of The Tournament.

Thank you for listening to us this series - it is bizarre that anyone would listen to us talk about such niche rugby content.
