Did we just witness one of the greatest away performances in Six Nations history? Chris, Gareth and Tom struggle to recall a more impressive display than France's dominant showing at the Aviva on Saturday. Have Ireland reached a stage where they must start introducing fresh talent? Tom questions whether England’s performance against Italy truly justifies the "love-bombing" they’ve received. Meanwhile, doubts are surfacing over whether Wales employed the right tactics in their loss to Scotland. Chris also highlights the debate around bonus points, as Wales could potentially finish above Italy in fifth place despite failing to secure a win.…

Six Nations: The Weekend Review with Ashy and Dawson 48:24

1 day тому48:24

48:24

Chris is joined by Ashy and Matt Dawson at Twickenham to reflect on the fourth weekend of the Men’s Six Nations. The guys discuss England’s 47-24 win against Italy, where Steve Borthwick’s side do enough to remain ‘in the hunt’ for the Championship going into the final weekend. And Wales v Scotland pales in comparison to France’s high quality win against Ireland to put the Championship in their hands, albeit without Antoine Dupont available. Looking ahead to the final weekend, Ashy and Daws have a sneaky feeling that Wales could do a number on England at the Principality, with Ollie Lawrence’s injury not helping either! And who could make a lasting impression on Andy Farrell in a bid to secure a place on the Lions tour?…

Is playing Ireland in Dublin the ultimate challenge in northern hemisphere rugby? Shaun Edwards thinks so, and we hear how he's been motivating himself and the French players ahead of Saturday's showdown in Dublin. Chris chats to Gavin Mairs, chief rugby correspondent for the Daily Telegraph, and senior writer at ESPN Tom Hamilton. We look at Fabien Galthie's mind games this week with his comments in the press about Sam Prendergast. And speaking of Prendergast, just how big a day is this for him in his burgeoning international career? There's more on France opting for a 7:1 split and do Scotland really have cause for concern this weekend?…

Chris is joined by Johnnie Beattie and French rugby journalist Paul Eddison to dissect the teams for round four. Does this France team need to win in Dublin to silence the French critics? There are plenty of talking points after Fabien Galthie named his team on Thursday, he's opted for a 7:1 split on the bench again and brought Romain Ntamack straight back in. We discuss Jamie Osborne's selection on the right wing and what Simon Easterby is hoping to gain from it. And how is Johnnie feeling about Wales visiting Murrayfield? Are there even nerves creeping in despite facing a team that's lost its last 15 matches?…

We're at Pennyhill Park speaking to England legend, and pod favourite, Jamie George ahead of his 100th cap this weekend. He tells Chris and Ashy how it feels "surreal" to be reaching a century of caps for his country but how he remains as driven as ever. George also opens up about how difficult it was to lose the England captaincy before the start of the 2025 Six Nations and how head coach Steve Borthwick broke the news to him.

Chris, Tom, and Gareth return to break down some of the key talking points ahead of round four. Ireland v France has all the makings of a classic, but with three players retiring after the tournament, will sentiment influence Simon Easterby’s selection? Tom disagrees with Gro's claim that this weekend’s game with Wales as the most critical moment of Gregor Townsend’s tenure as Scotland coach.

Is this the week Ireland take a huge step towards Six Nations history? The pod is back as we start the build-up to round four with Grand Slam winner Donncha O'Callaghan. What impact will the trio of retiring greats have? One man who will miss the France showdown is centre Garry Ringrose, but we lament the process that means he will only miss the one championship match. Plus, Felix Jones has a new job, there's a big departure at Leicester and we wrap up the PWR semi-finals.…

Round three of the Six Nations provided some score lines that not many expected – and as ever on a Tuesday, correspondent Chris Jones is back with Gareth Rhys Owen and Tom English to delve deep into what happened after a dramatic weekend. Gro smiled at a rugby game for the first time in years after Wales fought hard against Ireland – but even though the Welsh side lost things look less bleak with Matt Sherratt at the helm. With England stopping Scotland from winning an historic fifth Calcutta Cup in a row they look at what's next for this Scottish side and where the game was lost for Gregor Townsend’s men. And Chris debates what’s needed to improve this England side – are growing more options at 12 an answer?…

England regain the Calcutta Cup and Ireland remain on course for a Grand Slam. Round three of the 2025 Six Nations is in the bag and Ugo is alongside John Barclay and Sam Warburton to wrap it all up. Wales impressed under new interim boss Matt Sherratt despite slipping to another defeat. What would Warren Gatland have made of the performance?

Sara meets up with former Lions room-mates, Tommy Bowe and Alex Cuthbert to get the mood in the Welsh capital before Ireland steam-roll into the Principality Stadium. They ask with the new “boss bounce back” could Wales get a confidence boost with Matt Sherratt at the helm - or will Ireland dominate once again with an historic third successive Six Nations title in their sights? Tommy and Alex try to find an Ireland weakness – as Simon Easterby continues to be linked to the Wales job. And focus also goes to the much changed Ireland side, which Tommy points out is still as strong as ever. Also England senior assistant coach Richard Wigglesworth joins the pod to chat to Sara about his Calcutta Cup memories – as the last time he featured as a player, things did not go to plan….…

Chris then heads to the Scotland team hotel to catch up with Tom English and Andy Burke from the BBC's Scotland rugby pod. They discuss Finn Russell's selection, the three changes after the defeat to Ireland and look at the battle between the two packs.
