Another week, another close defeat for the Springboks on tour. The disappointed yet still hopeful panel closes out the Women's Rugby World Cup, does their best to defend Pieter-Steph ahead of his disciplinary hearing, debates modern rugby hairstyles, and go full Dan Brown on the French TMO or the lack thereof.

Ant, Phil, and Andrew review the bumper weekend of international rugby, covering the semifinals of the Women's Rugby World Cup (which year is it?), the 7s, and the Test matches. Catharsis and verbal therapy (read-Bok bashing) are met by talking up Italy, despairing about Scotland despite a victory, celebrating Argentina's renaissance, and taking a token shit on Wales (thanks, Ben).
