The Aoteroa crew is back for the Autumn Nation Series, where we dissect the ABs' win over England, why they tackled so many people off the ball, and how they managed to create opportunities.

With the game against Ireland coming up, we rank the ABs’ top 5 rivalries and ask whether Ireland is close to matching South Africa at number one. We get into Matt Williams’ comments about Kiwi rugby having an “existential crisis” and where the test against Ireland will be won or lost.
