How England get back on track after rude...

The Telegraph
About this episode

We're two weeks into the Six Nations and only France remain on track for a Grand Slam after a thrilling win for Scotland over England at Murrayfield!


Alan, Gavin and Charles unpack Saturday's clash in Edinburgh which saw England's 12-match winning streak halted.


There's criticism for Henry Arundell who was given a red card for two yellow card incidents - will we see him again? Could Borthwick have used his bench better? And Charles defends George Ford for his failed drop-goal attempt which saw Scotland go up the other end and score.


As for Gregor Townsend, how much does that win ease the pressure on him, and is it vital he backs it up with another big win this tournament?


Plus we discuss a nervy win for Ireland ahead of their trip to Twickenham, and whether anyone can realistically stop France who blew Wales away.
