Summary
Ben, Charlie and Charles look ahead to round three of the Six Nations and in particular the Calcutta Cup clash between England and Scotland.
Gregor Townsend's side are chasing a fifth consecutive win in the fixture but need to improve from their last outing against Ireland. England will be hoping to build on their last gasp win over France in round two.
Former Scotland fly-half Duncan Hodge was the star of this fixture 25 years ago, he inspired the Scots to one of the unlikeliest wins in Six Nations history and he joins the guys to discuss his memories of that day and his former side's chances this weekend.
We also take a look at the rest of the weekend's action, including Wales' first game since the departure of Warren Gatland and we tackle your questions as always!
