Dan Cole is back from inside the England camp to answer Ben's probing questions on why England lost again at Twickenham. And he's coming out firing. His rants include why England threw to the front of the line-out so much, why they kicked for the corner and he defends questions over England's 'experience'.

Is it a crisis? England have lost five games in a row as South Africa become the latest team to win at Twickenham this Autumn. Ben Youngs and Anthony Watson review the weekend’s games and tell you what it’s like to be charged down by Eben Etzabeth and beaten one-on-one by Cheslin Kolbe. Wales get hammered by Australia, France and New Zealand put on a classic, and we ask whether the Ireland team is too old? Our Autumn Nations Series Insights are provided by Sage.

Ben Youngs was very wrong. Anthony Watson helps him review round two of the Autumn Nations Series, and eat an enormous slice of humble pie as England lose to Australia at Twickenham. Anthony is £50 richer after the All Blacks beat Ireland in Dublin, and there are questions for Wales who lose to Fiji and end up with Sam Costelow accidentally on the wing for 47 minutes. Plus, South Africa show off potentially the greatest bench in the history of rugby. Our Autumn Nations Series Insights are brought to you by Sage.

England are due a win, and Australia are next up at the stadium formerly known as Twickenham. Ben Youngs and Anthony Watson preview a huge round in the Autumn Nations Series as South Africa take on Scotland and New Zealand play Ireland in Dublin on a Friday night. After some explosive quotes in Danny Care’s book we also ask if Eddie Jones’s England environment was toxic. Were the players afraid of him? And was Ben on a list of untouchable players?
