Round two of the Autumn Nations Series is in the books and England got their campaign off to a perfect start with a routine win over Tonga at Twickenham.
Joining Brian to reflect on their performance is the former England, Newcastle and Toulon centre Tom May.
The build up to England's game was dominated by who would wear the #10 shirt and in the end it was neither Owen Farrell or Marcus Smith! George Furbank started the game but Smith was the name on everyone's lips after the Harlequins star lit up Twickenham in his second half cameo.
We discuss what role Smith will have once everyone is fit and firing and if Eddie Jones would be willing to drop captain Owen Farrell to accommodate him.
We also round up the rest of the weekend's action as Scotland make it three wins from three over Australia, Wales have their chances of winning ruined by a pitch invader and Ireland put nine tries past Japan in Dublin.
Plus we hear from England Women's coach Simon Middleton after his side thumped New Zealand for the second week in a row, thus cementing their status as the number one ranked side in the world.
