Summary

Ben, Charlie and Charles reflect on the opening round of Six Nations action which saw three away wins for the first time ever!

One of those wins came at Twickenham as Scotland made it three in a row against England in the Six Nations to retain the Calcutta Cup and inflict defeat on Steve Borthwick in his first game in charge.

We hear from the new England head coach, who insists there is a lot of work to be done, and also fly-half Marcus Smith, who's partnership with Owen Farrell remains a question mark for England.

Charles was in Rome to see Italy fall to a narrow defeat to defending champions France and he gives us the low down on the threat they could pose to England next weekend.

We also look ahead to a mouthwatering clash between Ireland and France after Andy Farrell's side made light work of Wales in Warren Gatland's Cardiff homecoming.
