About this episode
The episode reflects on the 2026 Six Nations, highlighting key performances and outcomes from Super Saturday.
The 2026 Six Nations is in the history books and it will be remembered as arguably the greatest instalment of the tournament. Alan Dymock, Gavin Mairs and Charles Richardson reflect on Super Saturday which ended with France beating England with the final kick of the game to claim the title ahead of Ireland. England saved their best performance until last but ultimately it was another defeat for Steve Borthwick's side, and it meant they finished with four defeats for the first time ever in Six Nations history. We look ahead to the summer and if Borthwick's future is still up in the air. It was also a topsy turvy day for Ireland! They kickstarted Super Saturday by hammering Scotland only to miss out on the title thanks to Thomas Ramos' penalty, but overall it's been a positive campaign for Andy Farrell who faced questions heading into the competition. We also discuss another mixed campaign for Scotland, the arrival of Italy as genuine contenders and a long overdue win for Wales. Plus we pick out some winners and losers from the last six weeks and tackle your questions as usual. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
