Altitude Sickness: Can England Find a Cure?

from The Good, The Bad & The Rugby · host Platform Media

South Africa reminded everyone exactly why they're world champions, brushing England aside 45-21 at altitude in Johannesburg to open the new Nations Championship. Payno, Hask and Tins dig into where it really went wrong for England, not the early 17-0 hole (they clawed back to within three at half-time), but the, two costly yellow cards, and defensive system the boys argue isn't getting the best out of these players. It sparks a proper debate about whether Shaun Edwards is the "elephant in the room" England can't keep ignoring. The lads give their early thoughts on the tournament itself. Plus Wales' back-to-back wins, Dave Rennie's winning start with the All Blacks, Ireland's fightback in Australia. 🛞 00:00 Season 6 is Sponsored By Continental Tyres 🤔 01:16 Does the New Nations Championship Make Sense? 📊 02:54 Round One Results 🏉 06:30 England vs South Africa Breakdown 🐘 16:10 Shaun Edwards "Elephant In The Room" 🚗 33:31 Refund Club 🔥 34:33 Australia vs Ireland Thriller 🇳🇿 39:43 All Blacks Edge France 🌸 43:54 Japan Upset Italy and Wales Rise 📋 47:19 Table Round Up 🚗 Refund Club is a trading style of Sandsford Law Limited, authorised and regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA no. 8008114).
