Episode 20: England Falter, Ireland Fire and Scotland Survive Scare: Six Nations Round 1 Breakdown

Round 1 is done and dusted, and how good is it to have the Six Nations back on our screens?! England showed some promise in the first half against Ireland, but a second-half fight saw the hosts turn things around in Dublin—what went wrong for Borthwick’s men, and how did Ireland’s bench make the difference? Scotland made hard work of it against Italy but eventually pulled away, with Huw Jones stepping up in Tuipulotu’s absence. Meanwhile, France absolutely dismantled Wales in Paris—are they the team to beat this year, and are we seeing any real signs of improvement from Gatland’s side? We’ll be breaking it all down, looking ahead to Round 2, and answering your listener questions—including which past England player could turn things around and which players put their hands up for each team in the first round of action.
