Description

Ben, Charlie and Charles reflect on round three of the Six Nations where England saw off Scotland by a single point to win the Calcutta Cup!


Despite the win, there was a chorus of boos from the home crowd, who were voicing their discontent at England's style of play and overall performance. We discuss if the criticism of England's win is fair, or if fans should be a little more realistic with their expectations given England's recent form against Scotland.


Elsewhere there's praise for Wales who pushed favourites Ireland all the way in Cardiff in Matt Sherratt's first game in charge, and France bounced back from their England defeat by putting eleven tries past a hapless Italy


Plus we tackle your questions as always, including England's options at scrum half, Scotland's grievance's with the referee, and an impressive outing for England A against Ireland A.
