Brian Moore is joined in the studio by Harlequins and England centre Rachael Burford to recap a thrilling second round of action in the 2022 Six Nations.
England picked up their first win and and expected bonus point away to Italy. Marcus Smith was the star of the show, and head coach Eddie Jones says the sky is the limit for the young fly half. We assess his impact on the current England side and ask what his role could be once skipper Owen Farrell returns to the fold.
France edged out Ireland in the pick of the weekend's games. The match was billed as one between the two tournament favourites and it did not disappoint. We are joined by the former Ireland back row Alan Quinlan to dissect the game and discuss why the Irish have plenty to be happy about despite defeat.
And Scotland followed up their round one win with England with a defeat away to Wales, we speak with former Ospreys head coach about the win and if it was a turning point for the Welsh or a case of Scotland shooting themselves in the foot.
