Ben Youngs was very wrong. Anthony Watson helps him review round two of the Autumn Nations Series, and eat an enormous slice of humble pie as England lose to Australia at Twickenham. Anthony is £50 richer after the All Blacks beat Ireland in Dublin, and there are questions for Wales who lose to Fiji and end up with Sam Costelow accidentally on the wing for 47 minutes. Plus, South Africa show off potentially the greatest bench in the history of rugby. Our Autumn Nations Series Insights are brought to you by Sage.
