Episode 21: England Roll France, Italy Rise in Rome and the Irish Machine Runs Over Scotland

The lads are in great form after a cracking weekend of Six Nations ruggers. They were at Allianz Stadium for England v. France, so they chat about the electric atmosphere and break down an England win in the context of the tournament, but also in terms of the Borthwick and Itoje eras. They also look at whether Fin Smith has cemented himself as the 10 over Marcus Smith. They cover Ireland’s impressive performance in Scotland as Sam Prendergast continues his march as Johnny Sexton’s successor. Jim gives his take on what it means for Scotland going into a huge game against England. Meanwhile, Italy’s well-managed win over Wales shows a new maturity, but also surely spells the end for Warren Gatland. Plus, Joe Schmidt’s exit from Australia leads to speculation and some big names putting their names forward for the Wallabies gig. Don’t miss our legends lunch at Brigadiers in London this Saturday.
