Ep. 10 - The Good, The Bad & The French

  • Resumen

  • The drama of Six Nations Round 4 unfolded with breathtaking twists that have completely reshaped the tournament narrative and set up what promises to be an unforgettable Super Saturday finale.

    England's evolution under Borthwick continued with a convincing 47-24 victory over Italy, showcasing a more fluid attacking approach with forwards willingly moving the ball and backs finding space. Fraser Dingwall established himself as England's midfield conductor while questions remain about Marcus Smith's long-term future at fullback despite his attacking contributions. The performance provided genuine optimism for England supporters, yet revealed concerning defensive patterns for an Italian side that seems to have regressed as the tournament has progressed.

    Scotland's rollercoaster 35-29 victory over Wales perfectly encapsulated the Jekyll and Hyde nature of modern test rugby. From Scotland's first-half dominance to Wales' remarkable second-half resurgence sparked by Jared Evans and a revitalized forward pack, the contest delivered moments of brilliance interspersed with controversy—particularly around Blair Murray's disallowed try for jumping into contact, sparking debate about refereeing consistency and rugby's sometimes confusing application of laws.

    The weekend's defining moment came in Dublin, where France produced a tactical masterclass to dismantle Ireland 42-27 in their own backyard. Deploying their "seven-one" bench split to devastating effect, the French overwhelmed Ireland physically and tactically while playing a brand of rugby so fluid that Oscar Jegou slotted seamlessly at center for 35 minutes without anyone noticing. The victory came at a cost with Antoine Dupont's knee injury casting a shadow over the performance, but firmly established France as the team to beat heading into the final weekend.

    With three teams still in championship contention, the stage is set for a dramatic conclusion. Will England overcome Wales at a hostile Principality Stadium? Can France complete their resurgence against Scotland? Or might Ireland produce a statement performance against Italy and hope results go their way? Join us next week as we unpack all the drama from what promises to be an electric Super Saturday.
