The Six Nations is over and this week Talking Rugby reviews the competition in depth and assesses the performances of each country throughout the championship, along with a look back on the final week of fixtures.
This week Mike from Durham, Doc from Dublin and Alan from Luxembourg join Dave. Our popular Ulsterman William is also back having been absent from the show for a few weeks.
Coming up on the show:
PART 1: SIX NATIONS WEEK 5 REVIEW
0:00 - Introduction to this week's panel.
4:00 - England comprehensively beat Ireland at Twickenham, Mike is a happy camper while our Irish panelists bemoan Ireland's poor display. William in particular doesn't hold back in criticising the current Irish setup. We also talk the future of England and the situation regarding their future coach.
29:00 - Wales have won a 3rd Grand Slam in 8 years! Last weekend France made a decent effort of derailing Wales' campaign but the home side were simply good. But can the Welsh get even better and challenge the might of the southern hemisphere in the future?
44:35 - The annual Wooden Spoon showdown was won by Italy this year but is it the case that neither Italy nor Scotland have a bright future? After 5 losses from 5, Dave asks the question if Robinson's position is untenable.
PART 2: GENERAL SIX NATIONS REVIEW
56:00 - The panel discuss their XV of the championship, our very own dream team!
1:02:40 - We choose our best player and best emerging player of the championship.
PART 3: OTHER BUSINESS
1:08:30 - We talk about 2 nasty incidents that have resulted in citings for 2 players over the weekend, Dylan Hartley and Calum Clark.
1:20:40 - The RaboDirect Pro12 returns with the Irish provinces all in action. We also discuss the talking points within those games, including Brian O'Driscoll's return from injury and Jerry Flannery's retirement.
1:31:05 - Bet of the Week!

Another episode, another 350+ views. Thanks again everyone.

The Munster vs Leinster special is scheduled for Thursday night, with a certain leinster fan who is well known here likely to make his Talking Rugby debut.

I'm just at a loose end this week. Bored, but enjoying the sea and sun and Smithwicks.
