Summary
We've just one round to go in the 2022 Six Nations and all eyes will be on the Stade de France in Paris as the hosts bid for their first Grand Slam since 2010. England's slim chances of a Six Nations title ended after their defeat to Ireland in Twickenham.
Joining Brian to recap the penultimate weekend is the former England sevens captain Rob Vickerman. They dissect an incident packed game at Twickenham which saw Charlie Ewels red carded after just 80 seconds, the fastest in the Six Nations history.
Former Ireland prop Mike Ross joins to show to discuss the Irish performance and some of the criticism they have faced despite their bonus point win. He also discusses the struggling Irish scrum, which he felt was poorly refereed.
Elsewhere we recap the rest of the weekends action, Wales falling narrowly short of a big win over France and Scotland beating Italy but conceding 22 points in the process.

| 0:23.9 | England's hopes of winning A6 Nations will go on for another year |
| 0:27.6 | after a beaten by Ireland at Twickenham on Saturday. |

| 0:35.4 | who got sent off in 82 seconds, the record sending off |
| 0:39.8 | in the four, five or six nations history, and that meant Eddie Jones decided to play the |
| 0:45.6 | entirety of the game with just 14 men. And despite that set back, England did show an incredible |
| 0:50.6 | amount of character and fight, and they match the Irish in almost every department. |
| 0:54.4 | In fact, they actually mulled them in the strump as well. |

| 1:23.3 | And Wells, actually, they had the chances. |
| 1:25.9 | Could probably have stolen a famous victory, |
