When Monday Comes

Perhaps South Africa were better than we thought... Charlie and Paul review a remarkable Springbok performance as they upset the form book and Eddie Jones' England

Here we go! The big one.  Paul and Charlie dissect Saturday's World Cup final, try to work out how the Boks might win, pick our composite 23 and even find time for a brief preview of the bronze match no-one wants any part of... 

It certainly wasn't pretty but it was effective enough, just about South Africa edge past Wales, Paul and Charlie pick through the second semi-final and look ahead to England against the Boks!

Jaw on the floor. England produce their best-ever performance?  The All Blacks were just murdered in Yokohama, and Paul and Charlie sift through the evidence... 

It's north v south as England take on New Zealand and Wales face South Africa. Paul and Charlie break down the key battles ahead of a pair of epic World Cup semi-finals.

The end of the road for Japan The Brave Blossoms bow out of their World Cup at the hands of South Africa while 14-man France throw it away to resilient Wales

Not quite as tight as predicted! Paul and Charlie reflect on two one-sided scorelines but very different quarter-finals as England and New Zealand reached the last four

Four dream quarter-finals, two cities, one upset Paul and Charlie have picked out one surprise result apiece from the weekend's matches as they break down the start of the knockout stages in Japan

Team of the Pool stages! It's a doozy. And not one All Black amongst them...

The World Cup is back baby! What a glorious night in Yokohama as Japan produce rugby from the gods to make history and their first Quarter-Final.  Review it all here! Who can stop them now? 

Scotland's anger at Hagibis, a lack of Crunch and a little bit of rugby! Paul and Charlie debate the effects of the Super Typhoon hitting Tokyo and the end of the pool stages

Typhoon incoming! Or is that just Semi Radradra?  A mad midweek both on and off the pitch as Hagibis looms. All the latest on potential postponements and Paul reports from Wales and Fiji's instant-classic in Oita

So many games. So little time.  Full review of another belting weekend's fixtures, England's problems at No.9, Japanese cheering, and yet another French nailbiter. Bet you can't guess who Charlie names as player of the tournament so far either... 

Ireland appear to be getting worse and why we shouldn't expect any more (or should that be less) of France... 

It's time for team of the week again! No All Blacks or Boks but plenty of Brave Blossoms! Paul and Charlie run through the best XV of the second round!

No rugby today? Fear not, we've got you covered. Full review of Scotland's late late show and a preview of some massive mid-week games for Ireland and France with an All Black cricket score anticipated as well... 

Game of the tournament so far? Shizuoka will take some beating, but Wales v Aus came mighty close!  Paul and Charlie are together at last, and what a match it was to honour the occasion! Why Wales can go all the way, in defence of Romain Poite and more on the potentially decisive Typhoon incoming next week...

Japan shock the world again! Paul and Charlie reflect on why this was an even better victory for Japan than beating South Africa four years ago and where it leaves Ireland

Back in business. Charlie talks us through England's Kobe cruise past USA, Paul blasphemes in the presence of Sergio Parisse and we celebrate the Uruguayans' magnificent victory from 24 hours ago...

Recorded before Uruguay stunned Fiji Paul and Charlie run through their team of round one including four Irishmen and one man who played less than half an hour!

No rest for the wicked! Paul explains why Wales were more impressive than England and Charlie breaks down the team for the USA

Day Three of RWC 2019 and pod No.2! (apologies for missing last night, blame Sapporo's wifi...)  Paul slams Scotland, Charlie pans the Pumas and England get the job done. 

GONG! The pod is back. Shorter, sleaker and with an air of Eastern mystery!  Day 1 of our Japan Diary picks through the bones of the Brave Blossoms' opening win and previews a magnificent trio of Saturday matches...
