Rugby Showdown: Ireland vs New Zealand
Walter and Steven discussed the upcoming clash between Ireland and New Zealand, destined to be an epic battle. Walter anticipated an evenly matched contest, yet he expressed skepticism about Damian McKenzie's performance as a fly-half. Steven confirmed that this showdown would be broadcast on Sky Sports, with a build-up starting at 8 am. For those watching globally, the match could be streamed on Peacock or Stan Sport. They wrapped up by highlighting a thrilling weekend with three major games—a true feast for fans!

Reflecting on recent performances, the Springboks showed resilience, particularly in their victory over Scotland. Scotland started strong, utilizing their agile backs, but the Springboks' defense held firm. This adaptability will be crucial as they face Scotland again, with both teams eager to prove themselves.

Walter also shared his excitement about Fiji's potential to upset Wales. Fiji's recent performances, including a narrow win against Japan, have shown they are not to be underestimated. Players like Joshua Tuisova and Levani Botia have been instrumental in creating scoring opportunities. Walter believes that if Fiji can maintain composure, they have a genuine chance of upsetting Wales, especially given Wales' struggles this year. Their recent loss to Australia exposed vulnerabilities that Fiji could exploit.

Steven and Walter also discussed the rivalry between England and Australia. England has been on a strong streak, building depth through their talent pool. Their recent win over Argentina showed their structured gameplay and defensive resilience. Walter noted young talents like winger Phyoboso, whose speed has added a new dimension to England's attack. Australia has struggled, but Steven believes they could surprise England, given their unpredictable nature and the raw talent of players like Marika Koroibete. It will be interesting to see how England's structure matches up against Australia's free-flowing game.

Looking at Italy vs Argentina, Walter predicts Argentina will continue their upward trend, especially after their victory over Japan. The Pumas have been refining their game, focusing on strong forward play. Italy has struggled with consistency, and Walter expects Argentina to win by at least 10 points.
