England now have 10 consecutive wins under Steve Borthwick after beating the All Blacks at Twickenham!

Join Alan, Gavin, Charlie and Charles for all the fallout to Saturday's win, which was arguably the finest since Borthwick took charge.

There is high praise for George Ford after he delivered a player of the match performance. We discuss what he offers this England side and if he is the undoubted first choice at number 10 for the foreseeable future.

Away from England, it was a weekend to forget for Scotland. They threw away a 21-point lead at home to Argentina and were booed off by their own fans. Has Gregor Townsend taken them as far as he can?

We also take a look at the rest of the weekend's action including a return to form for Ireland ahead of their clash with the Springboks and a first win for Steve Tandy since taking charge of Wales.

Alan Dymock is joined by Gavin Mairs, Charlie Morgan and Charles Richardson to unpack an incident-filled weekend of rugby action!

England now have nine wins in a row under Steve Borthwick after seeing off the challenge from Fiji at Twickenham.

It was another strong afternoon for Borthwick's 'Pom squad' while Fin Smith played well on his return to the No 10 shirt. We discuss if his performance was enough to earn him a start against the All Blacks on Saturday.

Speaking of New Zealand, they edged past Scotland at Murrayfield thanks to some heroics from Damian McKenzie. We take a look at the threat the All Blacks pose and ask if England's favourite tag is justified.

Elsewhere, South Africa laid down a serious marker by beating France with 14 men, Italy picked up a major win over Australia and it was a case of new coach, same result for Wales who were thumped by Argentina.

Plus, Charles tells us why the bunker system is not fit for purpose and we tackle your questions as usual too!

England are up and running this Autumn after seeing off Australia 25-7 at Twickenham.

Alan, Charlie, Charles and Gav dissect the win and the overall performance which has been crowned as 'peak Borthball' by Charlie Morgan.

Tommy Freeman's performance at centre comes under scrutiny, we discuss if it's an experiment worth sticking with or if he is better utilised back on the wing

Elsewhere there is high praise for the 6-2 bench and questions over the Wallabies who looked tired after a long summer.

Away from Twickenham, New Zealand won their Soldier Field rematch with Ireland in a largely forgettable game. There is some criticism for the event as a whole too and Gavin suggests there is lessons to be learned for America before their staging of the World Cup in 2031

Plus, we take a look ahead to a huge weekend of games coming up and tackle all your questions as usual too.

The autumn internationals are back and so is the Telegraph Rugby podcast!

Join Alan Dymock, Gavin Mairs and Charles Richardson ahead of this weekend's action as we take a close look at England and their clash against the Wallabies on Saturday. 

The guys discuss how the back row will look in the absence of Tom Willis and discuss if Steve Borthwick is right to leave him out after he confirmed he will be moving to France at the end of the season.

Alan, Gavin and Charles also give their thoughts on who will start at fly-half for England with Fin Smith, Marcus Smith and George Ford all fit and available and whether Saracens teenager Noah Calouri will get a chance after a blistering start to the season.

Plus, we take a look at Ireland v New Zealand this weekend in Chicago, a repeat of their 2016 classic, and field your questions as always, too!

The Lions failed to make history in Sydney after losing the third and final Test against the Wallabies in the pouring rain.

Alan and Charlie reflect on the third Test and ask if head coach Andy Farrell got his team selection right after he decided to name most of the same players who featured in the opening two matches.

We also discuss the chaos during the game which forced it to be suspended for 30 minutes and if that had a factor in the result.

Away from the final Test, we look back on the tour as a whole. We ask what worked and what didn't, and if Farrell is the right man to lead the Lions in New Zealand in four years time.

As for Australia, have they shown enough in this series to warrant their status as a future touring country for the Lions?

And we answer all your questions as usual too!

The Lions have won their series against Australia after producing a sensational comeback in Melbourne on Saturday!

Charles and Charlie unpack the game and where it was won for Andy Farrell's side, and where it was possibly lost by the Wallabies.

We ask if Jac Morgan was lucky not to be penalised for his clearout in the final minutes of the game and if Dan Sheehan's try was within the rules of the game.

As for Australia, we look at where it went wrong for the hosts who were winning 23-5 shortly before the end of the first half.

We also take a look at the third and final Test next week and ask if Andy Farrell will give some of his fringe players a chance or if he will stick with what has worked so far

And we tackle all your questions as usual too!

Charles Richardson is joined by Charlie Morgan to reflect on the Lions win over the First Nations Pasifika XV in their final midweek match.

The match was seen as a final opportunity for some fringe players to stake their claim for Test selection on Saturday morning but few put their hand up in the narrow victory.

Owen Farrell impressed playing at inside centre and we ask if his performance was enough to see him break into the 23 for Saturday. We also discuss if his link up with Fin Smith is something we could see with England in the autumn.

Elsewhere, Charles gives us his report from England's tour of Argentina and who impressed during their time away.

And we tackle your questions as usual too!

The Lions are 1-0 in the Test series against Australia!

Alan and Charlie reflect on the match in Brisbane where the Lions overpowered the Wallabies. The Telegraph's Chief Rugby Correspondent Gavin Mairs checks in from the Suncorp Stadium and is full of praise for Tom Curry, who was sensational after having his selection doubted.

There's also praise for his back row partner Tadhg Beirne, who was named the official man of the match on the night.

The all Scottish midfield of Russell-Tuipulotu-Jones also comes in for high praise after an excellent performance, but there are questions to be asked of the back three and if their place is under threat for the second Test next weekend.

We also ask if Australia's second half performance will give them confidence of levelling the series next weekend and discuss what kind of team will play the final midweek match on Tuesday. We tackle all your questions as usual, too.

Alan and Charlie reflect on the Lions thrashing of the Australia/New Zealand invitational on Saturday morning in Adelaide.

The Telegraph's Chief Rugby Correspondent Gavin Mairs checks in after Andy Farrell's post match press conference to deliver news of Garry Ringrose's injury which has ruled him out of the opening test next Saturday.

There's praise for Huw Jones who could start at outside centre in Ringrose absence, elsewhere Ben Earl put in a man of the match display and could have forced himself into the test 23

Owen Farrell made his first appearance on tour as well, we ask if his impressive cameo will have been enough to see him feature against the Wallabies.

Away from the Lions, we round up the rest of the international including a first win in 18 for Wales!

And we tackle your questions as usual too!

Alan and Charlie unpack the latest Lions win down under over the Brumbies in Canberra!

Andy Farrell picked what many considered to be his strongest side on Wednesday morning but the de facto Test team failed to fully click in a number of areas.

The biggest concern came in the first half when full-back Blair Kinghorn was taken off with an injury leaving the Lions looking very light at full-back. Our Chief Rugby Correspondent Gavin Mairs joins the show to discuss what Andy Farrell had to say about the Scotland international.

Elsewhere, there were positive performances from Ollie Chessum, Dan Sheehan and Gary Ringrose On the other end of the scale, we ask if Tom Curry has played himself out of the Test side with an underwhelming performance at openside.
