Episode 1381: MONSTER 6 Nations Preview with RWC Winner Mike Tindall And Grand Slam Winner Martyn Williams, Man City Lose In Newcastle, Whither Silva
The 6 Nations is still the best annual rugby competition in the world, and we’re the reigning Grand Slam champions… so you’re god-damn right we’re excited about the start of the tournament this Friday night, as Wales take on France.

Ireland host England the following day, and we have a 2003 World Cup winner Mike Tindall in studio (12 mins), who has a few ideas about how England could get around Ireland, rather than try and run over them, as has been the plan on their last few visits here.
Why can’t Jones just focus on getting the team playing better!!!#batphone #9forwards

Gerry Thornley and Wales and Lions legend Martyn Williams continue the build-up to France V Wales, Ireland V England and the highest quality Six Nations ever.

Ireland don’t need to look too far to find another high-flying team brought low by circumstance – Man City blew their chance to put pressure on Liverpool when they lost 2-1 to Newcastle last night, and Pep might have over-shared in the post-match press conference. Ken reports! (1.05 mins)
What are Man City’s title hopes now? #MCFC pic.twitter.com/LFdu1q53vS

You’d have to say that in the last 20 mins, with city’s season hanging in the balance, David Silva bestrode the game like a colossus #heroism #legend #leader
