## Resource

Chris and Paul Grayson react to the England team to face South Africa. George Furbank gets a first start for nearly two years while Henry Pollock is on the bench. We head inside the England team hotel to catch up with Jamie George. He gives us a great insight into their preparations and reprising his role as captain. Springbok fly-half Manie Libbok is also on the pod, and we are joined by the voice of South African rugby commentator Matt Pearce to discuss whether this is the greatest Boks side of all time.
