The November window delivered answers, questions and warnings. In this episode, David Pembroke is joined by Eddie Jones to dissect the Wallabies’ 2025 prospects, the rise of England, France’s stalled progress, and the tactical shifts redefining Test rugby. Eddie breaks down how Australia’s season unfolded, why depth remains the core issue, what Les Kiss will bring as head coach, and how selection, pathways and politics still shape the national side. The pair also examine the November Series, from South Africa’s dominance to Scotland’s slump, England’s revival, and France’s uncertain identity. They close by looking at officiating, global fan engagement, sevens, finances, the Nations Championship, and what the upcoming Rugby World Cup draw means for 2027 preparations.
