Series 3, Episode 14: Nick Easter on the World Cup final and what’s next for England

England so nearly pulled off a shock upset against the Springboks but it was Handré Pollard’s boot that condemned the Red Rose to a semi-final exit at the hands of reigning champions South Africa. 

And so, the Boks will face old rivals New Zealand in the Rugby World Cup 2023 final in Paris on Saturday.

Joining host Ollie Little and the Rugby Paper experts Nick Cain, Chris Hewett and Nick Powell to look ahead to the final and assess where England’s exit leaves Steve Borthwick’s side, is former England Number 8 Nick Easter.
