Which teams have impressed and which have left us feeling deflated? (00:00) The panel select their ‘Best XI of the tournament so far’.

Will they be able to overcome ‘everyone’s second team’ and will the lack of fans affect them at all? (24:03) We end with predictions for the next round. Gregor was thrilled..
