Ben, Charlie and Charles reflect on the final of the 2023 Rugby World Cup which saw South Africa retain the Webb Ellis Cup and register a record fourth win.
The game could have been different had New Zealand not lost their captain Sam Cane to a red card early on. The guys discuss the impact of that decision and also if South Africa skipper Siya Kolisi was lucky not to see red.
We also discuss where this Springboks side rank amongst the best teams in rugby history and if it is possible they make it three in a row in 2027.
England scrum-half Jack van Poortvliet joins the show to discuss his rehab from an ankle injury that ruled him out of the World Cup and also what he has made of their progress under Steve Borthwick.
Plus, we discuss Eddie Jones' resignation from Australia and take a look at the World Rugby Awards too.
