Summary

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?
