This week on Attacking Scrum, it’s a Six Nations review with plenty to unpack — starting with an encouraging Welsh performance against Ireland national rugby union team.

Despite the result, Wales showed real signs of progress. Alex Mann produced a remarkable, record-breaking tackle count in a huge defensive effort, while Rhys Carre delivered one of the tries of the championship with a stunning finish.

Elsewhere in the Six Nations, history was made as Italy national rugby union team stunned England national rugby union team, raising serious questions for head coach Steve Borthwick.

And in one of the games of the tournament, Scotland national rugby union team blew away title favourites France national rugby union team in a Murrayfield thriller.

In this episode we discuss:

Wales’ progress against Ireland

Alex Mann’s extraordinary tackle performance

Rhys Carre’s sensational try

Italy’s historic win over England

The pressure building on Steve Borthwick

Wales have moved from collapse to competitiveness — but competitive isn’t the same as convincing. In this episode of Attacking Scrum, we break down what has actually improved in Wales’ system, why closing tight Test matches remains a problem, and what “progress” really means ahead of a huge clash with Ireland.

We preview Wales v Ireland as the ultimate audit of this rebuild: can Wales live with Ireland’s phase accuracy and composure? Or will the closing issue resurface?

Wales produced their most encouraging performance of the Six Nations but still fell to a narrow, heartbreaking defeat — raising fresh questions about progress, game management and how long rebuilds can last without results. In this episode of Attacking Scrum, we break down the performance positives, the key moment that swung the match, and whether Steve Tandy’s message of pride over despair is the right approach.

Away from the pitch, the crisis in Welsh rugby intensified as community clubs formally triggered an Emergency General Meeting of the Welsh Rugby Union, where a vote of no confidence in chair Richard Collier‑Keywood could reshape the future of the professional game. Grassroots pressure is growing amid anger over plans to reduce the number of regions, meaning the EGM could have major consequences for Welsh rugby’s direction.

We also review England’s heavy defeat, France’s march toward the title, and what the wider Six Nations landscape tells us about where Wales really stand.

An honest discussion about progress, pressure and the politics shaping Welsh rugby’s future.

Wales suffered a brutal 54‑12 defeat to France in Cardiff, leaving fans and players asking hard questions about the state of Welsh rugby. In this episode of Attacking Scrum, we break down exactly what went wrong on the field — from structural failures to tactical confusion — and discuss the key moments that exposed the team’s composure and confidence.

We also look at the wider implications: a record-low crowd at a Six Nations match, what that says about fan belief, and whether the current squad has the clarity and identity needed to compete at Test level. Finally, we review the rest of the weekend’s Six Nations action, including Scotland’s shock over England and Ireland’s win over Italy, asking what lessons Wales can take from their rivals.

An honest, analytical, and objective discussion of Welsh rugby at a very challenging moment.

Wales were brutally exposed by England at Twickenham in one of their most sobering Six Nations defeats in recent memory. In this episode of Attacking Scrum, it’s just us and The Mighty Murph breaking down exactly what went wrong — tactically, physically, and mentally — and why this loss feels bigger than a bad day at the office.

We analyse the key moments that decided the game early, the selection and system issues that left Wales chasing shadows, and what this performance says about the wider state of Welsh rugby. We also review the rest of the Six Nations action, assess where Wales now sit compared to their rivals, and ask what “progress” realistically looks like from here.

Welsh rugby is facing one of the most serious moments in its modern history. In this episode of Attacking Scrum, we examine why the Ospreys appear more vulnerable than ever as the WRU pushes ahead with plans to restructure the professional game and why trust in Welsh rugby’s leadership is rapidly eroding.

Joined by Seimon Williams and The Mighty Murph, we break down the ownership questions, player departures, governance failures, and what this could mean for the future of regional rugby in Wales. We then turn our attention to the Six Nations, previewing a massive England v Wales showdown at Twickenham and asking how off-field turmoil might affect on-field performance.

This week on The Attacking Scrum, Ged welcomes Ben Coles from The Observer to break down Wales’ performance in their defeat to New Zealand, a match where, despite a 26–52 scoreline, there were genuine signs of progress under new head coach Steve Tandy.

Ben explains why Wales’ first 50 minutes showed far more fight and structure than many expected, from Tom Rogers’ historic hat-trick to a dominant aerial battle and a clearer tactical identity. We explore whether this marks the beginning of a rebuild or simply a rare bright spell in a turbulent era.

The conversation also dives deep into the chaos surrounding the WRU and the regional restructure, with ongoing uncertainty over which region will disappear as Welsh rugby moves from four teams to three. Ben gives insight into how the instability is affecting players, coaches, and the national side’s ability to prepare.

Looking ahead, Ged and Ben preview a daunting clash with South Africa, with Wales set to lose several players due to release regulations, and discuss what “progress” really looks like at this stage of the rebuild.
