Summary

The lads are back and feeling fresh from some winter sun in Miami and the Cayman Islands, and ready for a massive few weeks. With no Six Nations action last weekend, we’re taking a look at who has put their names forward for the Lions squad, including the big calls at 8 and 10. We’ll also preview this weekend’s massive matchups, with a bit of beef in the build up to Ireland v France) love to see it. The lads ask if Scotland need a statement win, or can Wales build on their momentum from their recent resurgence. Plus, will England let their players off the leash and put in a dominant performance against Italy, or will we see history at Allianz as the Italians look for their first ever win against England.
