England end a difficult Autumn in style

The Telegraph
About this episode

Ben, Charlie and Charles are back for the final time this Autumn to reflect on a long overdue win for England.


Steve Borthwick's side thrashed Japan 59-14 at Twickenham to pick up their first win of the month and left fans feeling a little more optimistic ahead of the Six Nations early next year.


We discuss what's working and what isn't, particularly the defensive system which was once again exposed at the weekend


Fin Smith impressed off the bench, is the Northampton fly half a contender to start in the Six Nations?


Elsewhere we wrap up the best of the weekend's action as Scotland ended their series with a win over Australia and Wales misery continued with a heavy defeat to South Africa


Plus we discuss the World Rugby awards and tackle all your questions as usual
