Summary

After the excitement of the Six Nations it's back to domestic rugby with the Premiership, Pro14, and Premier 15s all in action again. Alongside Brian Moore to discuss it all is the Telegraph's Rugby News Correspondent, Gavin Mairs.Brian and Gavin discuss the lack of clarity around England's succession plan as Shaun Edwards' future remains undecided with Wasps potentially inviting him back in to the Ricoh. As for Leicester Tigers it was a weekend which saw them firmly back in the relegation mix and former Tigers hooker George Chuter fears that the club are in grave danger saying a lot of answers are a mystery right now. It's quite a different picture for Exeter Chiefs who secured their place in the playoffs following their win over Bath on Sunday, and are now talking about how to get that winning mentality to take them from runners up to Champions.Brian and Gavin then discuss the somewhat ambiguous plans for World Rugby as Gavin explains the situation as we know it. We speak with Nicky Robinson, former Wales and Cardiff Blues fly half, about the atmosphere in the country surrounding their recent Grand Slam, but then how that emotion shifts when discussing the state of the domestic season. The word carnage could easily be used for both!Finally we speak with Harlequins Ladies' captain Rachael Burford ahead of "The Game Changer" at The Stoop this weekend.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

0:35.9	Back to porridge, Brian.
0:38.4	It's obviously we cover club rugby all season,
0:41.9	but you tend to get caught up in the drama and colour of the Six Nations.
0:46.5	And of course, it's the same for players,
0:49.3	no matter how much they want to be loyal,
0:52.1	and I believe they all want to perform as soon as they get back
0:57.0	to the clubs. Not easy. You've been away for a long time. England is a club in itself. That's
1:03.8	why they try to make it that way so that people become very familiar and of course that
