Summary
The lads take a look at where the championship stands after three rounds and ask the big questions. Are France operating on a different level, and how do Scotland stop their transition game at Murrayfield? Is England’s discipline and defence about to cost them in Rome, and could Italy finally make history? We get into the numbers around England’s 22 efficiency, missed tackles out wide, scrum battles and turnover issues, plus what tactical tweaks could change the picture. And we’re joined by Italy fly half Paolo Garbisi. He talks Quesada’s influence, the shift in mentality, Italy’s dominant scrum, and what they’re targeting against England this weekend. And after that huge win at Twickenham, have Ireland flipped the narrative of their tournament and will they back it up against an improving Wales?
