Summary

It’s the halfway stage of the Rugby World Cup – and we could not think of a better way to mark this milestone than to reunite the two Chris’! Chris Ashton is back once again alongside Chris Jones. The pair give their take on New Zealand’s hammering over Italy on Friday night and pose the question of just how damaging that 96-17 result could be to Italian rugby - and on the flip side, does that result put the All Blacks back in the frame again as title challengers? Attention then turns to the weekend, with Scotland the only home nation in action – they take on Romania. Ashy gives his thoughts on that and his soft spot for the Fijian team who face Georgia. And if that wasn’t enough, the conversation turns to eggs…. and in particular Ashy’s love of travelling with an egg maker - and could a certain Chris Ashton be making a return to France…? Timecodes: 06:00 – NZ v Italy analysis. 16:13 – Argentina v Chile preview. 19:00 – Fiji focus. 22:00 – Scotland v Romania section. 24:38 – Jersey Reds latest.
