Danny Care: Rugby's residency rules are a bitter pill to swallow

The World Cup is just four days away and alongside Brian today is World Cup winner and Hall of Famer Maggie Alphonsi.

The pair look ahead to all three games involving the home nations this weekend and assess who is best placed to make a challenge for the Web Ellis Cup.

Harlequins scrum half Danny Care joins the show and admits his disappointment at missing out on selection for Eddie Jones England squad. He's questioned World Rugby's residency rules which have allowed the likes of Willie Heinz to get selected ahead of himself.

England's first obstacle is a Tonga side who were soundly beaten by New Zealand in their final warm up game, Pacific Island Welfare CEO and former Samoa international Dan Leo, explains what England's opponents, along with the other Pacific Island sides can offer to this years tournament, and what World Rugby needs to do to make sure they remain within reach of the World's tier one rugby nations

The pick of the opening weekend fixtures sees holders New Zealand take on South Africa, former Springbok Thinus Delport joins the show to talk about Springbok coach and his former teammate Rassie Erasmus who has turned the South African's from outsiders into one of the favourites for the competition.

And Maggie reflects on her own Rugby World Cup up's and downs as well as offering her insight on transgender women playing in the women's game.
