from EDDIE

The Nations Championship wraps its first stanza with a mixed final round, and Rugby Unity picks through what mattered and what didn’t. David Pembroke, Steve Hansen and Ewen McKenzie break down the All Blacks’ 40-21 win over Ireland, why New Zealand suddenly look connected again, and what Ireland are missing post-Sexton. France edge Japan in front of 53,000 in Tokyo, but Japan’s next step under Eddie Jones is clear: fix the scrum, tidy the errors, keep the effort. The Wallabies hammer a flat Italy in Perth, and the panel gives Joe Schmidt’s reign a blunt report card while sizing up Dave Rennie’s early surge. Scotland’s strong Nations Championship run continues against Fiji, while South Africa smash Wales 43-0 and the boys swap real coaching notes on how you actually challenge the Springboks. Then Argentina v England explodes into a record card-fest, with Angus Gardner targeted and the debate raging about deliberate knockdowns, TMO interference, and what World Rugby must simplify.Also in this episode:● All Blacks clarity, triple threat game, Ireland questions● Tuipulotu standout, New Zealand straightening and line speed variation● France v Japan: scrum dominance, yellow cards, Tokyo atmosphere● Wallabies v Italy: maul tone-setter and Canham treble● Springboks v Wales: kick-off tricks, aerial contest, tackle choices● Argentina v England: record yellow cards and Angus Gardner incidentPLUS: A straight talk finish on making rugby simpler, safer, and more fun at community level.SIGN UP TO THE BIG 3 HERE: https://tinyurl.com/big3rugbyunity 👈👈Ask Eddie Jones and Ewen McKenzie anything!
