Ireland rightly favourites for Twickenham showdown

The Six Nations is back after a week off and what a game we have to look forward to on Saturday as England host Ireland at Twickenham.

Joining Brian to look ahead to the weekend's clash is former England 7's captain Rob Vickerman. They discuss how well Eddie Jones new look side are transitioning to a new style of play and if their self imposed 'chaotic' gameplan is working.

Liam Toland from the Irish Times also joins the show to discuss Irelands strong campaign so far and how they have managed to implement their own version of structured chaos under the guidance of former England coach Andy Farrell.

Elsewhere we ask if there is any chance Wales can do England or Ireland a favour by beating Grand Slam hopefuls France on Friday night and should Duhan van der Merwe be banned for Scotlands upcoming game with Italy after he picked up a controversial red card at the weekend.

We also discuss the future of domestic rugby after both Doncaster and Ealing were denied the opportunity to be promoted into the Premiership after they fell short of stadium requirements for the top flight.
