The Two Howlers recap the successful relaunch of the NRL 2020 season picking up with a fast furious Rd.3 filled with plenty of action, highlights and record setting footy showcased! Parramatta jump out to top the table early built on the stingiest defense in the NRL era, whilst the ever mercurial NZ Warriors play a near perfect game to set the record for highest set completion rate in NRL history! In general news, the North QLD Cowboys make a compelling argument for being Canadians' team in the NRL. The first Ashes Test Series between England & Australia for 17yrs is cancelled due to COVID-19. Ben Te'o is back in Rugby League; and Akuila Uate heads home to Aussie after being released from the last year of his contract with Huddersfield. In Super League news, all 12 clubs voted unanimously to maintain the 2020 salary cap at GBP2.1m in a show of solidarity for the sport and it's players. But is it as clear cut as that? The short answer, no. Listen in for more details. Turning ahead to this weekend & Rd.4 of the NRL is already underway and the Roosters have PUMPED the Broncos 59-0 in Thursday night's match up, but who will win the remaining fixtures? Will the Warriors continue where they left off? Will Parra keep their place a top the table, or will Canberra Raiders take the spoils of war vs. the Knights? And, at the foot of the table, will one head coach's fate be sealed come the full time whistle? Lastly, we ask the question: What in the Sam hell is a 'Giltini'? Tune in once again and come run with the Pack for answers to these questions and more!
Former England centre, Ben Te'o joined Luke Fitzgerald, Fergus McFadden and Will Slattery on this week's Left Wing podcast as they looked back on England's World Cup final defeat. “In camp, every day, for four years, Eddie used to say ‘We're going to win the World Cup',” Te'o revealed. “He built a game to beat New Zealand but not necessarily South Africa. I don't know if England's minds switched enough to respect South Africa.” Te'o also spoke about his current Toulon adventure and of his time with Leinster and how Joe Schmidt had talks with him about staying in Ireland for another year to qualify for the national team. Plus Luke and Fergus discuss what it's like for the Irish provinces when the international players return and how they'll be looking forward to putting the World Cup behind them and concentrating on this week's interpros.

Round Four of the Six Nations ended with decisive victory for England at Twickenham, Wales taking one step closer to Grand Slam glory, and Ireland stepping it up against France who went AWOL again. With Brian Moore this week is the former England fly half Rob Andrew. After England's resounding win over Italy Brian and Rob discuss the merits of having Ben Te'o, Manu Tuilagi, and Joe Cokanasiga all playing, Jamie George's 20 metre pass, and whether England have now over-kicked with the forwards getting involved too. Rob also states that this has not been a compelling tournament with only two matches being a contest. Former Wales flanker Martyn Williams joins to discuss whether the Grand Slam will happen saying it will be an anticlimax if it doesn't and he believes Cardiff will be the difference come Saturday. They also put forward the importance of this being the last Six Nations match for both Warren Gatland and Joe Schmidt. Speaking of Joe Schmidt, we get an Irish perspective from former prop Paul Wallace after their bonus point win over France. With many saying Ireland have their mojo back Paul is reluctant to agree as he remains concerned about their conversion rate. As for Scotland they are once again ravaged by injury, but former Scotland back rower Ally Hogg is remaining positive about the tournament saying they can always muster something against the English. We also speak with Nigel Owens about forward passes and TMOs, and Natasha "Mo" Hunt about the Women's Six Nations.
The Autumn Internationals have ended with stellar campaigns for Ireland and Wales, England unearthed some raw talent, and Scotland will have their heads high too. With Brian Moore to discuss the final weekend of action is Telegraph writer Mick Cleary. Brian and Mick discuss the potential of a Joe Cockanasiga, Ben Te'o and Manu Tuilagi backline for England, the emergence of Kyle Sinckler, and Mark Wilson's sensational campaign. Joining them to discuss England is Ben Ryan, twice World Champion and Olympic Gold medal winning coach, who says Elliot Daly needs to be playing at outside centre and is the best in the world there. Ben also tells us more about Cockanasiga, they discuss who England should be playing at wing, and we also tip our caps to Fiji's stunning victory over France. With the announcement that Joe Schmidt is leaving Ireland after the World Cup, Joe and Brian discuss whether we are going to see an Andy Farrell and Stuart Lancaster coaching set up in the future, and they discuss whether Ireland can cope without Johnny Sexton in their ranks. Hear from Scott Hastings, former Scotland and Lions centre, whose nephew Adam Hastings faced Argentina at the weekend as part of a trialled axis with Finn Russell at 12 as Scotland ground out a victory over Los Pumas. Another former Lion joins the show in the shape of Wales' number 8 Michael Owen to discuss his former side's fantastic form and which new players we should be looking out for in the future. Plus, Maggie Alphonsi updates on the Red Roses' final match against Ireland and Gavin Mairs dials in from Monaco to tells us about the World Rugby Awards.
