  • #30 Super Saturday Drama: England Click but Fall Short, Ireland's Rebuild & Wales Breathe Fire

    #30 Super Saturday Drama: England Click but Fall Short, Ireland's Rebuild & Wales Breathe Fire
    Mar 17 2026
    Three teams in the hunt on Super Saturday and it all comes down to a Frenchman’s boot in a 48–46 classic in Paris. Bigs was in the stadium for one of the all-time atmospheres as England finally clicked… but still found a way to lose it. Is it progress or same old story? Ireland quietly rebuilt after early pressure, found depth, and may have solved their fly-half headache. And Scotland… was this their best shot at a title gone begging? The lads get into it all and lots more. Plus Wales finish strong, Italy crash back to earth, and we wrap what has probably been one of the greatest Six Nations Championships of all time.

  • #29 Attacking Rugby | Sam Vesty & Dan Biggar Break Down England & Modern Attacks

    #29 Attacking Rugby | Sam Vesty & Dan Biggar Break Down England & Modern Attacks
    Mar 12 2026
    Former England and Leicester player, and now one of the most coveted attack coaches in the game, Sam Vesty joins Bigs for a deep dive into the state of modern attacking rugby. The lads give their take on England’s misfiring attack and kicking strategy, why they’re struggling to convert chances in the 22, and whether confidence or system is the bigger issue. Vesty also talks about player connections in coaching, the impact of Premiership rugby on international readiness, and the growing trend of utility backs in the modern game. From Ireland’s layered attacking shape to Scotland’s impressive Six Nations form and France’s apparent chaos that somehow produces magic, the conversation breaks down what makes the best attacks tick. Bigs and Rob also take a look at the final round of Six Nations and preview what promises to be a nervous day with the Championship and Wooden Spoon up for grabs. Learn more about your ad choices.
