Talksport
About this episode
The FIFA President Gianni Infantino has accused the Western nations of "hypocrisy" in an hour-long press conference, in which he also defended the decision to award Qatar the 2022 World Cup. Elsewhere, the Newcastle goalkeeper Nick Pope discusses how the goalkeeping unit helped keep one another motivated and he also discusses his club team-mate Callum Wilson's recent form. The Wales and Swindon midfielder Jonny Williams speaks to talkSPORT about what it's like to play in his first World Cup, and Wales' first World Cup in 64 years. England Head Coach Eddie Jones reflects on their thrilling 25-25 draw with New Zealand at Twickenham in the Autumn Nations Series, but the former World Cup winner Ben Kay isn't convinced with how they are shaping up heading into next year's Rugby World Cup in France.
