Greatest Six Nations Weekend EVER? Italy Beat England, Scotland Outgun France

Some are calling it the greatest Six Nations weekend ever — and it’s hard to argue. Italy make history with their first ever win over England, Scotland edge France in a thrilling, high-scoring battle at Murrayfield, and Wales push Ireland all the way in a gallant performance that shows their rapid improvement. On this week’s Bench Opinions, we break down a chaotic and unforgettable weekend of rugby: Are Ireland solid enough to close out the tournament? Wales on the rise – are they building something serious? Scotland finally deliver in a big moment – is Gregor Townsend vindicated? Are France overhyped, or have teams simply figured them out? England’s problems deepen – is Steve Borthwick still the right man for the job? Italy arrive at the big boy table – but what’s the next step? We also make our predictions for the final round of the Six Nations. Plus, we dive into the shock announcement of Dave Rennie as the next All Blacks head coach. A decision that seems to have come out of nowhere. Is New Zealand Rugby facing an identity crisis, and do they need to start selecting players based overseas? All that and more on this week’s Bench Opinions. 🎙️🏉
