Games of the Week 32 – Itching in the Loafers

Listen on

Episode notes

Brett McKay and Harry Jones lay out the Games of the Week for the second full weekend of the Northern Spring Autumn Series Tour, where the Home Nations in particular will be seeking responses after all suffering losses of varying degrees of hurt the previous round.

Pressure is starting to mount in certain team environments, and another loss will only add to some already uncomfortable narratives. How much patience does Twickenham Man have left? Equally though, the SANZAAR nations in particular will be wanting to continue their run of performances, with all eyes on South Africa to see if they can make themselves proud again after a win, and Australia determine to ensure the Twickenham triumph was not one-night-only.

This week’s Games of the Week:

• Ireland v Argentina in Dublin

• England v South Africa at Twickenham

• France v New Zealand in Paris

• Wales v Australia in Cardiff
