Ben, Charlie and Charles reflect on one of the most thrilling weekends in rugby history as the southern hemisphere sides show they are far from a fading force.
England remain the sole hope for the northern hemisphere after Steve Borthwick's side survived a second half fight back from Fiji to book their spot in the final four. Owen Farrell responded to criticism of his selection at fly-half with a player of the match performance.
In Paris, we were treated to the two best games of the tournament so far with defending champions South Africa just edging hosts France to book a semi-final date with England while New Zealand produced their best performance in years to see off Ireland, who once again exit at the quarter-final stage.
We discuss if it was a case of choking for the Irish, or if they simply came up against a better side on the night, and Charles gives us the mood from Paris as the host nation lick their wounds after their exit.
Plus, we discuss Argentina's win over Wales and pay tribute to two departing number 10s in Johnny Sexton and Dan Biggar.
