Podcast appearances and mentions of autumn nations series

Dan Cole & Ben Youngs have been thrilled by a pulsating weekend of Autumn Nations Series rugby and are here to break down the action. England overcame a physical and well-drilled Fiji, Scotland were *so close* to making history and beating New Zealand for the first time, and South Africa survived 40 minutes of rugby with 14 men to beat France in Paris.

South Africa have overcome a red card and France in Paris, Italy has conquered Australia again, and Scotland were just one Damien McKenzie away from history against New Zealand, and Brett McKay and Harry Jones pull it all apart on the Weekend Post-Mortem for The 8-9 Combo Rugby Podcast. The second weekend of Autumn Nations Series and November Internationals has thrown up some engrossing performances, if perhaps predicted results, and there is plenty to discuss as always. Will France learn their lessons from the 2023 RWC now? Did the Springboks play better with 14? Surely the Wallabies have to make adjustments now, after their most disappointing capitulation of 2025? And did Scotland just underline ongoing issues for New Zealand? #rugby #rugbypodcast #89Combo #WeekendPostMortem #internationalrugby #NovemberTests #AutumnNationsSeries #SouthAfrica #NewZealand #Ireland #France #England #Argentina #Australia #Scotland #Fiji #Italy #Wales #Japan Find us: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@8-9Combo?sub_confirmation=1 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1BcKhb24YOtwQhKc0S3sDm Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/the-8-9-combo-rugby-podcast/id1729575866 Social media: #89Combo Twitter: https://twitter.com/89combo BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/89combo.bsky.social Find Brett and Harry on both Twitter and on BlueSky: @BMcSport + @HaribaldiJones Music: "Stalling" by Topher Mohr & Alex Elena (via YouTube Creator Studio) Voiceovers by Chookman + Sean Maloney Learn more about your ad choices.

The Autumn Nations Series came out swinging, the Boks, All Blacks, and England all dishing out a bit of payback. From yellow cards to serious injuries, no one left unscathed. We chat Helios Fire joining the squad, Punt-it Bingo heating up, and the Wessels saga heading for court. The Bokke now turn their sights to Paris, where Siya runs out for his 100th, you know that's going to be special.

Riprendiamo questo podcast dove lo avevamo lasciato. Facciamo il punto sull'avvio in URC delle franchigie, reduci questo weekend da due sconfitte simili contro avversari di cilindrata superiore. Ci affacciamo poi verso le imminenti Autumn Nations Series.

Squidge Rugby joins Ben Youngs and Dan Cole in the For The Love Of Rugby studio to preview a huge month of international rugby. How have Australia developed since impressing against the British & Irish Lions? Who will take the grudge match in Chicago between Ireland and New Zealand? And what crazy new plays will Rassie Erasmus deploy with South Africa?

It's all change for Steve Borthwick's England ahead of the Autumn Nations Series. Tom Willis has announced his move to Bordeaux, ruling him out of international rugby duty, whilst his Saracens peer Noah Caluori burst onto the scene with FIVE tries against Sale.Meanwhile, Dan Cole and Ben Youngs salute the retiring Emily Scarratt, analyse the Leinster v Munster thriller at Croke Park, and pay tribute to their former teammate Lewis Moody following his MND diagnosis.

Munster sent shockwaves through Irish rugby with a statement win over Leinster at Croke Park, dismantling their biggest rivals to go joint top of the URC. Is it a shift in power, or a Lions hangover? Goodey, Big Jim and Biggs get stuck into the fallout from that fiery clash, the form of Jack Crowley, and what it all means for Andy Farrell's Ireland squad heading into the Autumn Nations Series. The lads also dig deep into Steve Borthwick's England squad announcement, including omissions, combinations, and some exciting star power coming through. We also wrap up all the weekend's domestic action, from Noah Caluori's five-try explosion for Saracens to Leicester's last-gasp win over Bath, and all the biggest talking points from the Prem and URC.

The first major peak of the season is nearly here with the Autumn Nations Series, and the new England squad announcement has delivered two massive headlines: the departure of Tom Willis to France, and the inclusion of teenage try-scoring sensation Noah Caluorie. But the real debate is at fly-half. From Andrew & Barnes, Wilkinson and his challengers, Farrell to Ford, the England number ten jersey has always been a national talking point. Now, with George Ford, Fin Smith, and Marcus Smith all vying for the starting spot, who will Steve Borthwick hand the keys to ahead of the next World Cup cycle? Joining Payno this week are two men who know the pressure cooker of fly-half selection better than anyone: former England 10s and World Cup stars Charlie Hodgson (38 caps, Premiership's all-time top scorer) and Toby Flood (60 caps, 2011 Six Nations winner). Season 6 is Sponsored by Continental Tyres 00:00

Neil Treacy is joined by Bernard Jackman and Gareth Steenson on this week's RTE Rugby podcast. We look back on a mixed weekend for the Irish provinces in the URC, with a win for Munster and another defeat for Leinster, while we also take an early look ahead at Ireland's Autumn Nations Series campaign in November.

Former England teammates Mike Brown and Jonny May join the dream team for a revealing chat on the intense world of professional rugby. Brown, fresh from retirement and a corporate career change, offers candid insights into the psychological toll of the professional game, and the lads debate contrasting experiences under Eddie Jones. May and Brown also reveal the ups and downs of their volatile relationship on and off the field, including a training ground injury that ended in 11 stitches. Finally, the pair get stuck into an England selection debate ahead of the Autumn Nations Series. 00:00

What would Andy Farrell's Lions team look like if the first Test against Australia was next week? What positions are still up for grabs? And where is Farrell spoilt for choice? Ugo and Chris discuss all this and chat to the Wallabies captain Harry Wilson to get his take on the Lions after playing all four home nations during the Autumn Nations Series. Are there certain players he is keeping an eye on during the Six Nations? And after Netflix announced they will not be doing another series of Full Contact, how big of a missed opportunity is it to grow the game? What is the best way to capture a new audience while keeping loyal fans engaged - does the perfect balance exist? With the Superbowl this weekend, we ask what can rugby learn from the NFL and what a bit American promotion would do for the Lions tour.

A lucky Vodafone Business customer will get to answer Ireland's call and bring their business to the big screen at a packed Aviva Stadium as Ireland host France in round three of the Six Nations Championships on March 8th. Vodafone provides business support to over 60% of Irish businesses. The Bring your Business to the Big Screen initiative is worth over €25,000 to the successful SME and is open to Vodafone SME Business customers. Vodafone is offering its winning partner some of its own in-stadium pitch-side branding for the highly anticipated Six Nations fixture against France. The winning business will also receive an exclusive video content package, two VIP tickets to attend the match and see their brand advertised, as well as an exclusive invitation to meet the team at their Captain's Run the day before the match. Last year's Six Nations clash between Ireland and France attracted a TV audience of over 1 million viewers in Ireland and 6.6 million viewers in France and when Ireland last hosted the French in Dublin in 2023, the fixture delivered a 70% share of Ireland's TV audience. As the two tournament favorites go head-to-head, the Aviva Stadium will be at full capacity adding another 50,000 people to the number who will be exposed to the company's brand. To enter, companies must visit the Vodafone.ie business website and fill out a simple form - entries must be submitted by the 7th February, 2025. Over 2,000 SMEs applied to participate in Vodafone's 'Bring your Business to the Big Screen' initiative in 2024 which provided four small Irish businesses exposure during the Autumn Nations Series at the Aviva Stadium in November 2024 - SOS Cookies (Limerick), The Farmhouse.ie (Longford), JANDO and Lotts & Co. (both Dublin) were featured on pitch-side and digital screen advertising during the game. Amanda Nelson, CEO at Vodafone Ireland said: "This initiative is one of the most rewarding for our Vodafone Business team as we get to leverage our Irish Rugby sponsorship to the benefit of one of our SME customers. This scheme will expose their brand to over 1 million people in Ireland and will also deliver significant exposure overseas. Ireland and France are the favourites for this year's Six Nations title, which will increase interest even further in the fixture and provide a fantastic platform for one of our SME customers to share in the spotlight." Vodafone Ireland has been the main sponsor of the Irish Rugby Football Union (IRFU) since 2016. As part of this sponsorship, Vodafone shares a number of exclusive benefits with its customers, allowing them to feel part of the #TeamOfUs.This competition along with practical supports like V-Hub, a free digital support service offering tailored advice to help businesses navigate their digital transformation journey, are just some of the ways Vodafone is supporting small businesses.

Ep. 142: Le tango était français ! -- 2024 Autumn Nations SeriesEn clôture de leur tournée d'automne, les Bleus devaient mater leurs meilleurs ennemis argentins pour se tourner sereinement vers le Tournoi des 6 nations. Dans un match sans suspense car le score enfla très tôt, les Bleus de France ont pratiqué une danse fort efficace, faite de résistance défensive et de fulgurances offensives fatales aux tangueros qui furent vite dépassés par le rythme effréné de l'orchestre. De quoi souffler et tourner la page de la coupe du monde un an après ! Pendant ce temps les costauds Anglais ont passé les Japonais à la moulinette, les Irlandais ont terrassé les Fidji, les Gallois ont enchainé contre les redoutables Spring Boks ... un 12e match sans victoire faisant craindre le pire pour cette mythique tunique rouge, les piquants Ecossais ont relevé la tête et cloué le bec des Australiens, tandis que les Italiens ont résisté à des All Blacks pressés d'en finir avec cette interminable saison.Bref du beau, du bon rugby et une grande envie de se tourner vers le tournoi des 6 nations, dans tout juste deux mois !Bon mercredi avec le pack !Aidez nous à récolter des fonds pour MOVEMBER!

Ugo, Danny and Chris look back on a clean sweep for the Southern Hemisphere sides as the home nations all lost on home turf.
