About the episode

This week, we recap all the winners from the World Rugby Awards from Monaco, including player of the year, coach of the year, and the XV dream team. On the pitch, England snapped their losing streak with a commanding win over Japan and some bright shoots, but their defensive woes remain under scrutiny. Scotland set a record nine wins this year, with a lot of players setting down a marker for Lions selection against Australia. South Africa’s stock keeps rising after their perfect tour with a hammering of Wales in Cardiff. Plus, TJ Perenara’s farewell, Ireland’s dominant win over Fiji, and Predergast’s performance at fly-half. Lots more in a packed episode!
