Summary

We break down all the action from the penultimate round of Six Nations action, including France's blitz in Dublin, where a 7-1 bench gamble paid off against Ireland. England finally let loose at Allianz Stadium against Italy, with Ollie Chessum laying down a marker and Marcus Smith getting fans on their feet. Meanwhile, Scotland made it three in a row against Wales, albeit a second-half wobble highlighted some squad issues. The lads look ahead to the final round and ask can England or Ireland steal the title from new favourites France? Plus, lots of other news as The Lions squad announcement date is set and Jim's set for a run in with Marler at the Saracens-Quins Showdown 5 in a couple of weeks.
