Matt takes the wheel as he is joined by Ben and Alex - with Adam arriving somewhat late - as they discuss the travails of Eastern Cape rugby, the card system, a bit of Currie Cup and the Sunwolves coaching regime. Attention is then turned to the All Blacks standard win over Argentina, Steve Hansen, Port Elizabeth and the Springboks defending their way to victory for the second match in a row. Adam is also accused of being a Bulls fan, which upsets him (again). Music from bensound.com
