I think it is a rock bottom moment. I really do hope the boys stick together this week, and I'm sure they will. Our only way of getting back at it is taking maximum risk altogether. You're going to get punished, get punished, so be it, but at least we do it altogether. Steve is a brilliant coach. He is at his best when coaching. He is not necessarily a natural statesman. Fans view a game on emotion only. I just don't see in the three games how you throw the stones at Steve.

How wonderful would it be if Scotland do win in Dublin for everyone north of the border to have to spend four hours cheering for England?

Alex Payne trying to keep the sight going forward. Haskell takes it on now with just relentless chat.

And there's Tyndall to add the finishing touch of glamour and World Cup winning stories,

a dominant display by the good, the bad and the rugby.

And we've had a lot of chats with producer Tom about where do you start in unpicking.

What some are saying is the greatest weekend the Six Nations ever had in terms of upsets and color and Rasmataz and yet at the same time the fires are burning particularly around English rugby right

now before we get into deep dives on games and data and analytics Ben I'm going to come to you

first of all give us a bit of poetry and romance and a general overview of what last weekend was as a French fan, as a sports fan, as a rugby fan,

just as someone living a good life right now.

I'll put the French fan on the side.

A wonderful weekend in Edinburgh, sunny, sunny Edinburgh.

I was lucky enough to go with my wife, Andrea, and we traveled there, and we had a

beautiful time, was absolutely rammed with French people. On a side note, oh, well, you live in France, you know, have you ever seen a beret in France? Like, do you see people walking around supermarkets wearing berets? I'm not really. They put them in the suitcases when it's about going six nations. taking the stereotype on the road.

Absolutely.
