In this weeks show the boys look ahead to Round 3 of the Six Nations and some tasty ties to look forward to.

It’s a new dawn for Wales, new head coach in Matt Sherratt, some new faces and hopefully a new result for them. But is there a more daunting task in world rugby right now than the Irish coming to town?

The boys discuss the Irish weaknesses (hint: there are none) and their mindset as they look to continue their barnstorming Six Nations tournament so far.

Meanwhile Ryan will be down at Twickenham for the Calcutta Cup match between England and Scotland…. The Scots hoping to make it five wins in a row but the English are riding a wave of optimism after beating France at the death in round 2.

How do the boys see this one shaping up? How are the Scottish boys feeling after that chastening defeat at the hands of the mighty Irish? Ryan is worried but always picks his heart above his head…. Can Scotland put in that performance that continues this stranglehold they have over England these last few years?

And finally France head to Rome to take on the Italians buoyed by that impressive win over Wales. Which France will we see? The one who couldn’t catch a train when it mattered against England or the one that battered Wales? Surely Antoine Dupont can’t be human two games in a row?

We also hear about Max’s week having beaten Bath and the existential crisis he’s having with not being a slave to the rugby schedule while Ryan went on a competing podcast. We hear how his Trojan horse attempt worked out!

Enjoy!!

It's the victory they craved, the victory they needed, the victory they deserved and the victory they delivered...

England have finally beaten a tier 1 nation and delivered a win that finally puts the Borthwick doubters back in their seats... Or has it? What do the boys think?

Test rugby is a game of fine margins and how much luck was involved with France seemingly playing all the rugby but with a sadomasochistic contempt for the try line.... Dupont is human after all....

Who were the stand out performers? Who has helped their Lions cause no end?

The boys single out Tom Curry for praise but the highest accolades are sent the way of Fin Smith. Has the fly half debate been settled?

What actually happened to France?

Over at Murrayfield Ireland were serving up the blueprint for away wins in the Six Nations according to Ronan O'Gara. Absolutely dominating a strangely subdued Scotland team.

On this form does anyone bet against them to march to a grand slam in style?

And what a win for Italy....Wales didn’t feel like a scalp..... More the new order…..

But what of Wales? Is there any light at the end of the tunnel... can they take any benefits from their first loss at the Stadio Olimpico in their history?

The boys give you a full round up of a dramatic round of Six Nations Rugby.. Enjoy!

What a treat we have for you all this week. We’re joined by none other than Scotland Centre and purveyor extraordinaire of tries Huw Jones.

Huw takes through the triple meat pie and the “it’s happening again” moment when Italy drew level at 19-19. But there’s a new found resilience to the Scots and ultimately they did everything they needed to do to pick up the 5 points. First banana skin avoided!

We hear Huw’s thoughts on what’s going on inside the Scotland camp but also have a chance to beat his wild journey to the top. Some real sliding doors moments that might never have seen the dynamo Midas centre hit the highs of winning the URC or winning over 50 caps for his country.

And what about the other games?

Close and no cigar seems to be a recurring theme for England but this was more comprehensive. Beaten soundly by the Green machine. Ireland showing no signs of being Dads army actually accelerating through the gears in the latter stages. Ireland vs France sure promises to be an absolute blockbuster.

But what of the English? What does Steve Borthwick do? all questions wonderfully answered by the boys.

We also go through the Wales nadir against France in Paris. Rarely has there been a more one sided game in recent years in the six nations. What can Warren Gatland do?

France through purring like a well oiled machine despite injuries and a very callow side they blew the Welsh away!

We also hear from the lads Max gives us his take on being destroyed by an almost entire Wallaby side as Bristol are taught a heavy lesson against the Queensland Reds. Silver lining though… Max scored a try!

It’s another blast with the boys enjoy!
