from Rugby Union Weekly · host BBC Radio 5 Live

Chris, Tom and GRO are back for the second instalment of the Nation’s pod guide and this time they’re talking about the home of English rugby - Twickenham. Is it still the one scalp that all teams want in the Six Nations? Tom and GRO discuss their complex relationship with HQ and why it is such an intimidating venue. They also share their experiences both good and bad of playing against England. We also tackle the Twickenham cliches – from the picnics in the car park to the fashion choices, plus we remember some of the great Twickenham moments away from the Six Nations.
