We're delighted to be joined by Scotlands very own hero in Finn Russell to discuss how the team masterminded their Calcutta Cup victory at Twickenham on Saturday and why they no longer celebrate beating the English. Finn takes us behind the scenes to explain how they prepared to take on and beat the English last week, and the problems they faced trying to guess Borthwick's selections. On selections Finn reveals his thoughts on what England should do to fix their 10/12/13 disaster and also shares his thoughts on the atmosphere (or lack of it) at Twickenham. We're also told the full story of what happened with the physical and verbal ruckus between himself and England captain Owen Farrell and how in hindsight Marcus Smith may have been the man to blame! We also hear about how his move to Bath next season came about, the one million reasons he couldn't turn them down, how becoming a dad has made him a better fly half and the Aston Martin he's trading in for the baby! Plus the lads review all the weekends action and look ahead to another incredible weekend of six nations rugby - circulating around the huge clash between Ireland and France. --- How does a free case of beer sound?
