We're delighted to be joined by a man who's made the Six Nations team of the tournament in Italian flanker Sebastian Negri, as he helps us dissect all the incredibly entertaining and controversial action from the final weekend of the campaign. We discuss what's been described as 'the worst red card ever shown' and try to work out why Jaco Peyper was so quick to brandish it, if Rugby is being ruined by the amount of red cards and soft officiating going on, why players are now taking inspiration from football and acting injuries to get their opposition sent off, Sebastian also opens up about how; referee's should be punished for their mistakes and stood down like players are if they don't perform, after Italy experienced another set of bad decisions against Scotland. We discuss how Ireland are the greatest team in the world and also why Sebastian thinks France are overrated and are there for the taking. Seb then takes us through his meteoric rise which has taken him from being chased out of his own farm in Zimbabwe by Mugabe's private army to having his life saved on the pitch by Ellis Genge to scrapping with Owen Farrrell at Twickenham and now to being one of the most sough after players in world rugby. He's a wonderful guest - so please sit back, relax and enjoy. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Chris, Tom and Gareth convene for the last time this Six Nations to mull over the final weekend of matches. With Ireland chasing a fourth Grand Slam, is it is going to be a St Patrick's Day formality for Andy Farrell's side? And after their record defeat at Twickenham, we ask why it went so wrong for England and what Steve Borthwick needs to do to turn things around. Gareth updates us on the Wales camp after they registered their first win of the tournament, but does anyone gives them a chance against a French side that delivered one of the all-time great Six Nations performances last weekend? And with a few key players ruled out, how careful do Scotland have to be against a smarting Italy?

Quel Crunch pour notre XV de France! 18 ans qu'ils n'avaient plus senti le parfum de la victoire dans le temple de Twickenham, et pour un retour, ce fut un triomphe ! De bout en bout, en long, en large et en travers, les hommes à la rose fanée comme jamais se sont fait littéralement martyriser par des bleus qui marchaient sur l'eau ! On pourrait en parler des heures mais le score parle de lui même : 53/10 à la maison, une fessée monumentale et historique qui booste les Bleus et renvoie Steve Borthwick à une sacrée cure d'aspirine ! Cette équipe n'en finit plus de tenir ses promesses et vient d'envoyer un message retentissant à la planète rugby : « nous serons très très durs à battre à la Coupe du Monde, et nous n'avons peur de personne ! »  On en viendrait presque à oublier que ce sont pourtant les Irlandais qui sont en passe de nous succéder au grand chelem, s'ils battent les malheureux anglais condamnés au rachat sous forme d'exploit ou aux gémonies… cette confrontation sera à ne pas rater!  Le résultat importe peu et suffira à notre bonheur : récupérer le trophée ou un adversaire à abattre qui endosserait le costume du favori de l'automne et nous enlèverait un peu de pression dans notre marche vers le toit du monde !

Chris, Ugo, Ashy and Johnnie Beattie round up another compelling Six Nations weekend. Ireland are just one win away from a Grand Slam after showing their class at Murrayfield, despite losing key players in key positions. But why did Scotland fail to capitalise? Did they fall short on the big stage once again? And after England's thrashing at Twickenham, we discuss whether the issues for Steve Borthwick are bigger than just selection and whether a continuous influx of overseas players has had an impact on developing young talent.

Chris is joined by Matt Dawson and Paul Grayson to pick the bones out of England's record home defeat in the Six Nations. You'll hear the thoughts of Steve Borthwick after a chastening day for the England boss. They discuss where this England team go from here, and whether there'll be wholesale changes for their trip to Dublin. You'll also hear the thoughts of France team manager, Raphael Ibanez, on what he calls one of the biggest wins in French rugby history after their first Six Nations win at Twickenham since 2005. And of course there is plenty of love for their talisman, Antoine Dupont.

Défaite historique de l'Angleterre à Twickenham, à l'occasion de la 4e journée du Tournoi des Six Nations

In this bumper episode of the pod Sonja McLaughlan is joined by three stellar guests in the form of John Barclay, Shane Horgan and Paul Grayson as they look ahead to an equally stellar three games in round four of the Six Nations! They have to start with the action at Murrayfield as Scotland host Ireland in what is a HUGE game for both sides, as the hosts aim to get their first Triple Crown since 1990 and Ireland are chasing another Grand Slam! They analyse both teams and try very hard to pick a winner. Then attention turns to Twickenham as third takes on fourth – England play hosts to defending champions France, in what is a must win game for both sides. And Paul gives his views on Steve Borthwick's team selection which sees Owen Farrell dropped to the bench, with Marcus Smith starting at 10. And is the pressure on Italy as they take on Wales in Rome? That's the question Sonja asks the guys – but not everyone has the same answer…

Ugo and Chris are joined by French rugby expert Paul Eddison at the England team hotel as Steve Borthwick names his team for their showdown with France this weekend. The big news is at fly-half, with captain Owen Farrell dropped to the bench and Marcus Smith getting the nod. Borthwick explains the decision and how Farrell reacted to the news. Paul gives us the lowdown on the changes to Fabien Galthie's team and explains why this French team are desperate to win at Twickenham. Flanker Lewis Ludlam also joins the pod to chat about his impressive form in this year's Six Nations and why he is relishing the challenge this Saturday.

Les Bleus de Fabien Galthié n'ont jamais battu l'Angleterre chez elle, et, avant la Coupe du monde, voilà un dernier bel accomplissement à rajouter à la liste. Quels ingrédients faudra-t-il mettre face à une équipe qui a basé sa reconstruction sur le défi physique et son paquet d'avants ? Dans quel état est le rugby anglais en général ? Le XV de France, qui ne s'est plus imposé à Twickenham dans le Tournoi depuis 2005, va-t-il faire des changements ?

In this episode we speak to Dr Leanne Griffiths, the Dean of Sport, Allied Health and Performance Science at St Mary's University, Twickenham, and founder of Sophie's Stars, a charity dedicated to supporting family and loved ones of people diagnosed with cancer. Leanne has a very personal story to share with us which is bound up together in her role as the founder of Sophie's Stars and her work at the University, as it prepares to launch its new living well service. At the Centre for the Art of Dying Well we strongly believe in living well throughout our lives in order to prepare to die well, so we are particularly interested in this new initiative.Leanne started at St Mary's as a Senior Lecturer in Sport Rehabilitation in 2011. She qualified as a Physiotherapist in 2008, completing a PhD in 2016. Her PhD investigated the effects of neuromuscular electrical stimulation on muscle adaptation in stroke patients. Meanwhile in her personal life Leanne was coping with the sudden illness and subsequent death of her sister Sophie, who was diagnosed with kidney cancer aged 24, dying just months later in 2017. Leanne says: “I've never really known where to tell my story, or where I could share my feelings and have my voice heard, because I have not been through cancer. That is why I set up Sophie's Stars.”

Why do we always want to eat rubbish when we're tired? Are low carb diets really a good idea? And is it OK to clap your own crap? Answering all these questions is Dr Sarah Berry! Sarah is a professor at King's College and also the chief scientist at Zoe, which helps people to work out which foods suit them best. Ellie talks about her experience of the program, and how her favourite bit was probably the thing with the poo hammock.We quiz Sarah on the best way to talk to kids about what they're eating. There's also some chat about gut health, intermittent fasting, and how the way we process food can change as we enter the menopause. Basically it's loads of really interesting, science-based stuff about health and nutrition from a woman who likes a pain au chocolat and a glass of red wine. Result.

Fresh from leading his side out at Twickenham on the weekend, we're delighted to be joined by Italy and Harlequins fly-half Tommaso Allan to discuss Italy's incredibly resurgence and find out which of the team actually have any banter. Tommy reveals to us; why Capuozzo' may look sexy but he's actually got no C.H.A.T, how he beat Dombrandt up at the bottom of the ruck at HQ, what it's like competing alongside Marcus Smith at Quins, what the Italians do for their initiation, who the loosest player he's ever played with is, how his ribs are feeling after Ollie Lawrence clattered him, why he loves the Northcote Road, being forced to drink illegal liquids in South Africa, how he got abused by the Scottish public and coaching staff for turning his back on them, how the mindset in Italian rugby has changed over the last couple of years, reveals if Sergio Parisee is making a comeback, relives a very loose night at the Japan world cup and much much more...... -------- DOWNLOAD ATHLO NOW! https://athlo.app/ The way you train and use your gym membership is about to change thanks to Athlo.

Sonja McLaughlan is joined by Shane Horgan, Chris Ashton, Andy Nicol and Philippa Tuttiett to reflect on Round 1 of the Six Nations, and to look ahead to the weekend's fixtures. The team discuss Duhan van der Merwe's iconic try at Twickenham, England's response to the loss, Italy's improvement against France and Ireland's fantastic form.

The lads are in great from after an unbelievable weekend of action in the Six Nations as well as live shows in Dublin and London. Jim and Goodey were both at Twickenham to watch Duhan's worldie of a try, so give their thoughts on the game, atmosphere and where it leaves England and Scotland for the rest of the tournament. We also get to hear from Sione Tuipulotu in the Scotland camp and chat through Gatland's first game back in charge for Wales against Ireland. We wrap up Italy and France and look forward to another hell of a weekend of action. How good to have the Six Nations back!? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Ben, Charlie and Charles reflect on the opening round of Six Nations action which saw three away wins for the first time ever!One of those wins came at Twickenham as Scotland made it three in a row against England in the Six Nations to retain the Calcutta Cup and inflict defeat on Steve Borthwick in his first game in charge.We hear from the new England head coach, who insists there is a lot of work to be done, and also fly-half Marcus Smith, who's partnership with Owen Farrell remains a question mark for England.Charles was in Rome to see Italy fall to a narrow defeat to defending champions France and he gives us the low down on the threat they could pose to England next weekend.We also look ahead to a mouthwatering clash between Ireland and France after Andy Farrell's side made light work of Wales in Warren Gatland's Cardiff homecoming.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

We've been building up to it all week, but finally, the 2023 Six Nations is underway! Wales hosted Ireland for the Championship opener, and it was not the great Gatland second-coming that many had hoped for. With Ireland clinical from the off, Sara Orchard, Wales international Philippa Tuttiett, and former Irish winger Denis Hickie, talk us through exactly what happened in Cardiff, and ponder Warren Gatland's options for the rest of the Championship? Twickenham was in full voice again but it wasn't enough to stop Scotland bagging a hat-trick of Calcutta Cups, or Scotland's Duhan van der Merwe putting in an early bid for try of the tournament! Chris Jones, 2003 World Cup winner Matt Dawson, and former Scotland No.8 Johnnie Beattie, discuss the key areas Scotland were superior, why Finn Russell impressed so much, the mindset Scotland need to take into their next game and beyond, and (Dawson's favourite question!), how can England close out these big games? Chris also gets the thoughts of England head coach Steve Borthwick after his first test in charge, and an understandably satisfied Scotland coach, Gregor Townsend.

Our guest for this episode is the hilarious comedian Alasdair Beckett-King. He tells us why he decided to write a children's murder mystery book, even though he has no kids and has never killed anyone. We talk about how Alasdair went from doing shit gigs in terrible pubs with us to starring on Mock the Week. He explains how a failure at film school kicked off his comedy career, and why he believes a bad first gig is better than a good one. Helen excels herself with the running order for this episode, managing to spell our guest's name wrong, reveal a weird fixation with his age, and insult his appearance. Alasdair tells us what it's like to be a person of hair colour, and we unfairly test his knowledge of parenting with a stupid quiz.
