About the episode
It’s a full-noise Six Nations special as Jim and Goodey tee up a massive opening weekend, with Ireland vs. France on Thursday night in Paris, England vs. Wales at Allianz, and Scotland’s trip to Rome. The lads dig into squads amid key absences, new faces, some bans, predictions for all three games, and a reminder to join the pod’s live alternate commentary watch-along for France vs. Ireland on Thursday night on YouTube. We also have a brilliant sit-down with Scotland and Lions legend Andy Nicol, who reflects on Calcutta Cup glory and Gregor Townsend. We’ll cover tournament predictions, some big law-change debates, RWC 2027 fixture news, and some listener questions to round things off.
