    Nations Championship Post-Mortem: France pip Boks in a thriller
    Nov 13 2026
    What a game. Pat McCarry joined Brett McKay for the latest LIVE Nations Championship 8/9 Rugby Post-Mortem, with France holding on to beat South Africa 21-19 at the Stade de France in Paris. Easily the match of the Nations Championship so far, and maybe the Test Match of 2026. The theatre of the pre-game, the mind games of the late team changes, the ebb and flow, and critical moments and rulings that defined them – everything delivered to make this exactly the game we all hoped it would be.

  • Ep.38 – November resumption = Big wins with Charlie Morgan

    Ep.38 – November resumption = Big wins with Charlie Morgan
    Nov 11 2026
    Charlie Morgan from The Times joined Brett McKay on 8/9 Rugby to take a look back over the first weekend of the Nations Championship return for November, and the implications for the international rugby pecking order that came with a surprisingly comprehensive fourth round of results. Round 5 coming this weekend certainly looks harder to pick, with a couple of games that loom as genuine coin flips, and others that will carry intrigue for totally different reasons. And it’s all coming in the context of who will play who on the Finals Weekend in London, 27-29 November. JERSEY LOVERS!

  • Nations Championship Post-Mortem: England thump grim Wallabies in record win

    Nations Championship Post-Mortem: England thump grim Wallabies in record win
    Nov 8 2026
    The Wallabies have got some serious issues to address, after conceding a record score against England at Twickenham. Pat McCarry joined Brett McKay for the latest LIVE Nations Championship 8/9 Rugby Post-Mortem. England were comprehensive and clinical, running in 7 tries to 3 in the 45-22 win to climb back to second on the northern standings after Round 4, while the Wallabies have endured exactly the same issues that plagued them through the twin Bledisloe Cup losses to New Zealand last month.
