Show Notes
Round five of the Six Nations is in the books and it will go down as one of the great weekends in the tournament's history!
Alan and Charles are joined in studio by the Telegraph's Chief Sports Writer, Oliver Brown, to unpack England's defeat to Italy and their third of this year's championship.
Gavin Mairs checks in from the England camp in Verona to discuss the RFU's stance on under-fire coach Steve Borthwick who looks set to stay until at least the summer, despite the wretched campaign so far.
Next up for England is a trip to Paris to take on a French side who are no longer chasing a Grand Slam. That's because they were soundly beaten by a brilliant Scotland on Saturday, so we ask just how much credit Gregor Townsend is due for turning around his side's fortunes.
Scotland could go top of the standings if they beat their bogey side Ireland on the final weekend. It's a similar situation for Andy Farrell's men who got past Wales on Friday night in Dublin.
Plus we tackle all your questions as well! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
