Eddie Jones' selection dilemmas for the 2022 Six Nations

Brian Moore is back ahead of what is set to be one of the most thrilling Six Nations in years!

Eddie Jones is set to name his 36 man squad on Tuesday and Brian is joined in studio to discuss some of the big selection calls the England head coach will be forced to make ahead of this year's competition.

The biggest talking point, as ever, is at outhalf. Marcus Smith has continued his scintillating form and George Ford is playing some of the best rugby of his career but skipper Owen Farrell is likely to take precedence over both despite being sidelined for over three months.

Elsewhere, we discuss the options in the centre, back row and at prop, with 35-year-old Dan Cole tipped for a recall.

Wales have had a good week, they learned their Covid-19 restrictions will be lifted in time for their 6 Nations campaign, meaning full crowds can return to Cardiff. Their women have just made history too by awarding 12 professional contracts for the first time in their history. We speak with former Wales international and current performance director at the WRU Nigel Walker about the historic moment for Welsh rugby.

And we tackle the latest round of European action as well as answering all your questions!
