RTÉ Rugby Podcast · What we learned from first week of the Nations Championship · 8 Jul 2026 podcast

You don't need 70 players to win a World Cup, but if it was about 50, 60 players, they'd be miles ahead of everyone else.

I think it's a bad one for Bortwick.

I mean, he survived the review.

How did he survive that review?

especially on the back of what was a massively improved performance on the last day of Six Nations against France when they were within a Ramos kick of winning the game.

I mean, in Paris that night.

We were there.

We were there, yeah.

It was a phenomenal improvement, right?

And probably that helped him a lot in the review because the last memory is seeing those players play firm, play for the jersey and play well.

And then this was a step back massively because...

Of all teams that are equipped to go toe-to-toe physically with South Africa, England actually have one of the better chances of it.

Their style of rugby should be able to negate a lot of what South Africa do.

But they got blown away and their discipline went and they looked bang average.

They looked really, really poor.

And South Africa...

South Africa, I think, made it personal, you know, even... Which they tend to do a lot.

Like, they're very old school.

No, they did.

And now, obviously, they go back and play Fiji in England.
