Ireland Smash England, Wales Collapse vs Scotland & France Roll Italy | Six Nations Breakdown + Fantasy Rugby

The panel recaps a busy Six Nations weekend, starting with Ireland vs England, where Ireland rebound with a dominant win and England’s defensive and breakdown issues are heavily criticized, alongside debate over England’s hooker choices and selection (including Crowley vs Prendergast for Ireland and praise for players like McCloskey and James Ryan). They discuss whether Italy can threaten England after England’s two straight losses and preview upcoming fixtures, generally backing France over Scotland, England to edge Italy, and Ireland to beat Wales. They also review Wales’ late collapse against Scotland, arguing it reflected youth and game-management inexperience, and cover France’s clinical win over Italy and their depth (including Ramos at 10). The episode ends with updates and banter about their fantasy rugby leagues and forfeits.
