Speaking of retirement, Keegan Daniel gets a call from the couch for a post-rugby chat and shares a funny story about Morgan from their time in the South Africa Under-21 squad back in 2006.
Gareth's brain is picked about the current Springbok flyhalf stocks and he reveals who he feels is the current front-runner for that spot before the Super Rugby chat goes full force - especially form Morgan.
The show wraps up with Gareth sharing the nuances of recruiting and what it is that recruiters look for in a young player.

I think we need to get innovative with the new laws.
Now red cards are only 20 minutes, Razor should send Finau on a head hunting mission to hospitalise their 10 with a shoulder to the chops.

Go to commentsEngland played well enough to win but couldnt score when they needed to and couldnt defend a couple of X-Factor moments from Telea which was ultimately the difference. They needed to hold the ball more and make the AB's make more tackles. Territorially they were good for the first 60. Defending their lead and playing pragmatic rugby in the last 20 was silly. The AB's always had the potential to come back. England still have a long way to go, definite progress would have been shown had they won but it seems they are still stuck where they were shortly after the six nations and their tour to NZ
