Podcasts about Twickenham

The lads take a look at where the championship stands after three rounds and ask the big questions. Are France operating on a different level, and how do Scotland stop their transition game at Murrayfield? Is England's discipline and defence about to cost them in Rome, and could Italy finally make history? We get into the numbers around England's 22 efficiency, missed tackles out wide, scrum battles and turnover issues, plus what tactical tweaks could change the picture. And we're joined by Italy fly half Paolo Garbisi. He talks Quesada's influence, the shift in mentality, Italy's dominant scrum, and what they're targeting against England this weekend. And after that huge win at Twickenham, have Ireland flipped the narrative of their tournament and will they back it up against an improving Wales?

Ep. 177: Le plus dur reste à faire - bilan France vs Italie - 6 Nations 2026Les Bleus ont fait l'essentiel en battant sans (trop) frémir des italiens moins saignants qu'attendu. Il se sont ainsi donné le droit de rêver au grand chelem qui passera d'abord par un sacré défi à Murrayfield : ce sera l'heure des braves !A Twickenham, on attendait les anglais en mode bulldozer pour se faire pardonner de leur piètre performance en Ecosse, mais les Irlandais étaient d'un autre avis ! Survoltés et revenus à leurs meilleures années ils ont littéralement renversé un XV de la Rose totalement apathique et à côté de la plaque, s'offrant ainsi un vrai match référence, le premier depuis longtemps.Enfin les gallois, rêvant de se réconcilier avec leur public lui ont offert 50 minutes comme dans un rêve. Les diables rouges tenaient leur victoire mais une nouvelle facétie de Finn Russel et le poison du doute ont eu raison de la belle histoire de ce samedi à Cardiff. Finalement perdants, ils ont prouvé à la planète rugby qu'ils n'avaient pas encore renoncé et ils se sont peut-être et surtout réconciliés avec eux-mêmes !Rejoignez-nous pour les analyses des matchs, un preview du match France - Ecosse et des autres matchs des 6 nations, un moment U20 et des news Rugby Europe Championship.Bon mercredi avec le packVoici l'autre podcast de TK --> L'Année Sobre, un an sans alcool ! https://podcast.ausha.co/l-annee-sobreNotre instagram: Packdepotes_podcastmusique par Manu RodierArt grâce à Albane BorelHébergé par Ausha.
