Ben, Charlie and Charles reflect on the final round of Six Nations action which saw Ireland crowned Grand Slam champions following their 29-16 win over an improved England side.

Ben, Charlie and Charles reflect on the penultimate round of Six Nations action where England suffered a record home defeat to France in a major reality check for head coach Steve Borthwick. We discuss England's problem areas following a difficult afternoon at Twickenham and who should play at fly-half against Ireland next weekend. Owen Farrell was forced to settle for a spot on the bench against France with Marcus Smith preferred while there's also the possibility of a return for George Ford, who is yet to make an appearance this campaign. The Irish Grand Slam remains on after they picked up ..read more

Ben, Charlie and Charles look ahead to the penultimate round of Six Nations action with three mouth-watering encounters taking place this weekend. England have welcomed Marcus Smith back into their extended squad after the fly-half was released by Steve Borthwick and told to go and prove himself.

They discuss who impressed and who failed to live up to expectation. There is criticism for England captain Owen Farrell, who did not enjoy his finest afternoon in an England shirt. We ask if Borthwick has backed himself into a corner by naming Farrell as his skipper for the duration of the tournament and if there is scope to change the captain ahead of the World Cup later this year. Elsewhere, there is praise for Scotland despite defe ..read more
