Summary

It's Six Nations squad day so Matt Dawson and Chris Jones are at a very cold Twickenham to chat to Eddie Jones. Matt and Eddie finally get to reminisce about the 2003 World Cup final before moving onto England's 36-man squad. And there's plenty to dissect with Manu Tuilagi missing out and Owen Farrell retaining the captain's armband. Eddie talks about the evolution of his squad and a first call up for Wasps back row Alfie Barbeary. Chris and Matt also look at Wayne Pivac's Wales squad which contains four fly-halves, including new captain Dan Biggar.
