Summary
Ben, Charlie and Charles build up to the return of the Six Nations this weekend after the final fallow week of the tournament.
Next up for England is a home clash with Italy, and we discuss if we will see something different from England's attack at the weekend following a pragmatic approach last time out against Scotland.
We kick things off with the standout tie of the round between Ireland and France, a win for either side here should all but guarantee the Six Nations title, and in Ireland's case it will set them on their way towards a Grand Slam and a third Six Nations in a row.
Former Ireland assistant coach Les Kiss joins the show to pay tribute to the retiring trio of Cian Healy, Conor Murray and Peter O'Mahony after they have announced that Saturday's clash will be their last on home soil.
And we answer your questions as ever including plenty on the Premiership Rugby Cup following the quarter finals at the weekend
