Show Notes

Super Saturday is here and Rugby Unity sets the table for a massive final weekend of the Six Nations, with David Pembroke joined by Ewen McKenzie and Eddie Jones. Before the previews, the boys get stuck into World Rugby’s new Nations Championship, why it adds real jeopardy to north v south match-ups, and why a global season still feels stuck in the mud. Then it’s into the match-ups: Ireland v Scotland in Dublin and how Ireland’s control, phase pressure and aerial contest can squeeze Finn Russell, even with Scotland’s confidence soaring. Wales v Italy gets billed as a surprise blockbuster, with Italy handling rare favouritism and Wales chasing a long-awaited win. And at the Stade de France, France v England brings heat, selection calls, emotional control, and the media pressure that comes with it.
