The Telegraph Rugby Podcast: Six Nations preview with Finn Russell

Ben, Charlie and Charles reflect on week two of the Six Nations, which included a thriller in Dublin as Ireland got the better of France in a battle between the two best sides in the world.

We speak to the former Ireland international Alan Quinlan about what makes this Ireland side different to the Grand Slam winning teams under Joe Schmidt and if the Irish can maintain their relentless form to challenge for the World Cup at the end of the year.

We also unpack England’s first win under Steve Borthwick which had both positive and negative aspects. We hear from the England head coach who urged fans to be patient after a mixed showing against Italy.

After Scotland backed up their win at Twickenham by beating Wales, we ask if this is finally the year Gregor Townsend’s men can compete for the title.
