About this episode

The episode reviews the thrilling conclusion of the 2026 6 Nations championship and discusses the performances of various teams.

The 2026 6 Nations is over! One of the great championships went down to the final kick of the final match. Thomas Ramos knocked over a penalty to break English hearts and deny Ireland the title. The morning after the events in Paris, Alex Lowe, Charlie Morgan and Will Kelleher join Alfie Reynolds to look back on an incredible finale and the tournament as a whole. Where on earth has that England performance been? Does it soften the blow of England's worst ever 6 Nations campaign? France are the champions but did they limp over the finish line? Did Scotland have a successful campaign or should they be disappointed by not winning four matches? And how significant a moment was Wales' win against Italy on the final weekend? Hosted on Acast.
