Summary

Everyone loves a good rivalry and it doesn’t come any better than England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales fighting it out to become Six Nations champions (alongside France and Italy) so we decided to unite BBC Radio Wales’ Scrum V pod and the Radio Scotland Rugby Podcast with our very own Rugby Union Daily to get a unique take on what the home nations are getting up to ahead of the competition. Chris Jones is joined by Gareth Rhys Owen and Tom English to get the lowdown on what we can expect from the teams and they boldly make predictions as to who will come out on top at the weekend. Not only that, they discuss why you can never rule out Wales, if Johnny Sexton is super human, England's captain conundrum and if Tom has found his brain after Adam Hastings was left out of the Scotland squad.
