Putting England victories into context

THE TIMES
About this episode

Owen Slot welcomes World Cup winners Lawrence Dallaglio, Michael Lynagh and Sarah Hunter to contextualize England’s crushing defeat of France. 


They discuss why England’s coaching team deserve praise and ask if the kicking game seen in recent weeks is a tactical innovation or a reintroduced old trick. 


PLUS why the current French management defies logic and do Italy need to justify their place in the tournament?  


Finally Sarah Hunter rounds up the womens Six Nations so far.
