Tinds and Hask have never been so buzzed for an episode, so much so they threatened to come out of retirement... They also look back at the final weekend of Autumn Nations action, and the quality we’re witnessing in Northern Hemisphere teams this season.

S2 Ep7: Live Show with Habana and Hartley
Bryan Habana and Dylan Hartley join Alex and Tinds at The Prince in Fulham to look ahead to England and South Africa’s first clash since the World Cup Final two years ago. We all know how that ended - but have England kicked on since then? They’re just as unpopular, apparently, so we find out why everyone hates England, and remind ourselves of one of the greatest head-to-heads of all time: Habana vs a cheetah.

S2 Ep5: Beast Mode
Alex and Hask are joined in the studio at long last by their brother in arms, Ben Kayser, to talk to one of the greatest front rows to grace the scrum.

They touch on World Cup glory, the genius of Rassie Erasmus and some serious squat and bench press stats.
