  • #11 The Craziest Test Match Ever, Welsh Ticker & England's Tunnel Argy-Bargy

    #11 The Craziest Test Match Ever, Welsh Ticker & England's Tunnel Argy-Bargy
    Nov 25 2025
    Four happy men in the studio this week after a blockbuster weekend of Quilter Nations rugby. England made it 11 wins on the bounce despite late fireworks in their clash with Argentina, Jim’s beloved Scotland stuck a half-century on Tonga without conceding a point, and Wales showed real ticker in a brave performance against the All Blacks. But the headline act was in Dublin, where South Africa and Ireland produced one of the craziest Test matches we’ve ever seen – five yellows, a red, scrum carnage, psychological warfare from Rassie, and Irish fans and Boks fans going at it online. The lads break down the madness, look at England’s growing depth and midfield options, debate the Curry–Contepomi tunnel drama, assess Wales’ best showing of the autumn, dig into Scotland’s momentum and Townsend rumours, and ask whether France now boast the best young backline in world rugby.
