Bent out of Shape

About this episode

In this episode, we analyze recent rugby matches and their implications for upcoming games.

Italy shoved Ireland around at scrum time and refused to fade after the break. Scotland ended England’s streak in a game the stats won’t explain. France turned Wales into a training session. In our 150th episode, we break down who’s being exposed, who’s stepping up, and what it all means ahead of a massive England v Ireland clash, with a quick look at Varsity Cup pressure points back home.
