Summary

Three teams in the hunt on Super Saturday and it all comes down to a Frenchman’s boot in a 48–46 classic in Paris. Bigs was in the stadium for one of the all-time atmospheres as England finally clicked… but still found a way to lose it. Is it progress or same old story? Ireland quietly rebuilt after early pressure, found depth, and may have solved their fly-half headache. And Scotland… was this their best shot at a title gone begging? The lads get into it all and lots more. Plus Wales finish strong, Italy crash back to earth, and we wrap what has probably been one of the greatest Six Nations Championships of all time.

started the tournament under pressure, got hosed by France, and then bounced back, won four on the spin, built a load of depth, strengthened in a few areas, and they've finally solved their issue at Fly Half.
