We discussed if the Springboks have taken rugby to a new level, even past the mighty 2015 All Blacks. We then break down the year for every single one of the Six Nations and Rugby Championship sides plus Fiji, Japan, Georgia, Samoa and USA. Why are Ireland fans so frustrated? Has Razor managed to turn the All Blacks around? Are France, Argentina and Scotland really that good? What next for Schmidt and Australia? Are England really getting better and what on earth do Wales do to save themselves? This is part one of my chat with Harry, stay tuned for part 2 next week where we select our team of the year!

In this podcast I was joined by the brilliant and highly qualified Brett Igoe to access his expert knowledge on rugby analysis. We break down Ireland's win and what Andy Farrell's men in green are trying to do at the moment whilst offering a theory on why Ireland's attack looks so laboured at the moment. We then go on to discuss how Joe Schmidt is adapting to Australia and how Australian rugby is adapting to Joe Schmidt before previewing the first round of the European Cup. Brett is a highly experienced coach and analyst who specialises in explaining rugby to new fans and people learning about the sport. I really hope people enjoy this podcast and take value from it, I certainly did!
