About the episode
Six Nations Round 1 is done, and there’s a lot to unpack. Jim, Goodey, and Bigs dive into Italy’s superb win over Scotland, how Gonzalo Quesada has transformed the Azzurri, and whether this result puts real pressure on Gregor Townsend ahead of a huge Calcutta Cup clash. The lads then turn to England vs. Wales, looking beyond the score line at England’s attacking evolution, George Ford’s control, and whether discipline could become an issue against tougher opposition. Wales’s struggles, green shoots at U20 level, and what a response at the Principality might look like are all on the agenda. We also look at Ireland’s poor performance in Paris, what went wrong in that first half, France’s physical edge, big TMO calls, and what has changed with Ireland. Listener questions, Smartest Call of the Week, news, shout-outs, and live shows in Dublin round out a packed episode of proper Six Nations chat.
