Will Greenwood believes that Eddie Jones' World Cup squad is taking shape and that this Autumn is not a good time to miss out

Will Greenwood and Nick Robinson join James Gemmell to discuss the discipline of England's players, Wales' selection shake-up and whether the All Blacks are still all that?

The first stop on this week's show concerns Eddie Jones' England in the wake of citings for skipper Dylan Hartley, prop Joe Marler and backrow Nathan Hughes.

The boys look at the what potential effect this could have on Eddie Jones' Autumn squad selection.

Next up, Wales' shake-up. Warren Gatland has picked five uncapped players in his Wales squad, and left out some big names. Nick Robinson joins up on the phone for this part to discuss the change in the Wales camp.

After that, we ask: Are the All Blacks still invincible? Recent results have seen the kings of rugby stumble. Is the world catching up with New Zealand or are have they just been complacent?

Last year's Challenge Cup champions Stade Francais are the inspiration for our fourth topic as we take a closer look at the prospect of facing French clubs in Europe.

You can never predict what the French are going to do and Stade have certainly proven this with the worst possible start in the Challenge Cup.

So far they've lost to Russian-side Krasny Yar and at home to London Irish in the opening rounds. Are last year's champions turning their noses up at Europe?

And of course, we finish with Brickbat & Bouquet as Will selects what he likes and doesn't like from the world of rugby this week.
