Ireland top of the world, Finn Russell receipts in Six Nations Week 2 review

RugbyBits

Kooks, Shaun and Thala are back podding about Week 2 of the Six Nations (and a bit of Week 1 as well).

The gents start with Ireland’s win over France and discuss whether Ireland are the undisputed best team in the world, if France should start worrying and how great the first half of the game was. The performances of Caelan Doris, Hugo Keenan and Antoine Dupont stand out in particular.

The conversation moves to Scotland’s comprehensive victory over Wales. Kooks calls out the Finn fans who were not there when times were tough. Shaun wonders if Huwipulotu will work against France and Ireland. Thala focuses on the impact Richie Gray has had on the Scottish pack and whether Wales should fully embrace real Warrenball.

We briefly look at England’s victory over Italy and compare which of the new coaches in Borthwick or Gatland will be the happier of the two and how the Farrell-Lawrence-Slade axis looks like.

Please note that we faced some technical issues which affected the recording of the podcast. Apologies if the final product is disjointed as we had to record in 3 different parts.
