Greenwood is asked the question whether Beauden Barrett is going to struggle to keep his place in the starting line-up and gives his honest answer.

We also have news on a double injury setback for the Crusaders while the Brumbies are going to be without fly-half Noah Lolesio for eight weeks.

There’s a video on the top 10 strangest tries, compiled by World Rugby, plus we’ve done a quick quiz on the South African World Cup final team.

Harlequins have announced the signing of ex-London Irish scrum-half Scott Steele, who will battle with Danny Care and Martin Landajo for a spot.

Elsewhere, Wales loosehead prop Rhys Carre, 22, is determined to keep on learning in the future after an impressive past 12 months in the game.

What’s on social media

We decided to roll back the years today and went into the archives where we found this belter of Jim Renwick, Ian McGeechan and Douglas Morgan.
