Summary
Ben, Charlie and Charles reflect on the final round of Six Nations action which saw Ireland crowned Grand Slam champions following their 29-16 win over an improved England side.
The guys pay tribute to the winners and, in particular, their captain Johnny Sexton, who is now the top points scorer in the history of the Six Nations following his final game in the competition.
There is also praise for England, who were much improved from their heavy defeat to France. We grade Steve Borthwick's first tournament in charge and pick out some of the positives from the last eight weeks as attention now turns to the World Cup later this year.
The guys also assess where the other Six Nations teams stand ahead of the World Cup. Despite their Grand Slam, no one believes Ireland should be favourites.
Fiona Tomas checks in ahead of the start of the Women's Six Nations this weekend, and we attempt to pick our player of the tournament too!
