In a week of folk complaining that rugby is boring, no one knows what we've been through. We try to make sense of the least appetising game of the tournament, addressing the false comments about rugby lacking skill in 2020. We also compare this game to Wallace & Gromit: The Wrong Trousers.


Thanks as always to Tom Rosenthal for our theme music.
