Summary
Ben, Charlie and Charles reflect on a decisive round four of the Six Nations where France dispatched Grand Slam chasing Ireland in Dublin.
Charles was in Dublin to witness the scintillating display from the French and in particular their flying winger Louis Bielle-Biarrey.
We also discuss how damaging the defeat could be for the Irish who were expected to dominate the Lions tour this Summer, will Andy Farrell have to re think some of his selections if Ireland find themselves finishing third in the Six Nations.
Elsewhere we reflect on England's win over Italy, a much more expansive brand of rugby deployed by Steve Borthwick, and Ben gives us his report from Murrayfield as Scotland fight off a spirited Wales comeback.
