Summary

The 2019 Six Nations are over and they crown Wales as Grand Slam Champions. Back with Brian Moore once more to review it all is former England and Lions fly half, Rob Andrew.Listen in as they dissect why it was that Wales were able to be a cut above the rest technically and tactically, give praise to Robin McBryde and Shaun Edwards as well as Warren Gatland, and ask if Wales can win the World Cup.Joining Brian and Rob to talk about England is former winger Rory Underwood as they question why Joe Cokanasiga was left out the match day squad, whether Owen Farrell can both captain and play fly half, and who should replace Eddie once he leaves England.As for that astonishing Calcutta Cup match, we turn to former Scotland centre Scott Hastings to understand how it could be such contrasting halves from the Scots with Scott saying it was the attitude of the players which changed the game.Over to Ireland where a disappointing campaign was fought given the expectation at the start. Former back row Alan Quinlan tells us why he think Ireland didn't match those expectations and what he would say to Joe Schmidt about the tournament.Plus we speak with Red Roses Grand Slam winning captain Sarah Hunter on how her side were able to dominate their championship.

0:07.0	Hello and welcome to Brian Moore's full contact with The Telegraph.
0:12.0	Well, what a finale to the 2019 Six Nations.
0:17.3	World's crowned Grand Slam champions of Calcutta Cup match. Well, one of them was astonishing
0:23.1	in flipping memory and the World Cup is just around the corner so it all to play for. With me to discuss it all is the former England and Lions Fly Half Rob Andrew. Hi Rob. Hi, Brian. How are you?
0:34.6	Okay, well last week you were saying there hadn't been many exciting matches in the Six
0:40.0	Nations, I think in different ways the final round sort of made up for it. We'll go through
0:45.9	it in detail, what each team learned, what they didn't learn. I've been asked a lot how good
0:51.6	this Welsh side is, and my answer has been, they're good enough. Anything that's come against them, they've been able to beat. And if they've been asked a lot how good this Welsh side is, and my answer has been good enough.
0:55.1	Anything that's come against them, they've been able to beat.
0:58.0	And if they carry on doing that, that will also be enough.
1:01.6	If they need to score more tries, then we will see whether they've got the capability, the creativity to do that.
1:08.6	But whilst you're not conceding many, and they aren't, because they've got a tremendous
1:12.7	defensive spirit and shape both in set defense and scramble defense, very, very difficult
1:18.7	side to beat at the moment.
1:20.1	Yeah, and look, they're fully deserved to win the Six Nations.
1:23.0	Gatland was pretty brave at the start, wasn't he?
1:24.9	When you threw it out there. If they win in Paris,
1:32.0	they're going to win the Six Nations, win the Grand Slammy said. At half time in Paris in that first game, we were all shaking our heads, not knowing what on earth was going on with France's
1:36.7	16-0-0. Now, this is a good Welsh team. They're on a 14 match unbeaten run. A bit like England's 18 match on beaten run under Eddie,
1:45.0	that they haven't played New Zealand in this run.
1:47.2	And whoever is going to win this World Cup in September, October,
