The Sunday Times' rugby correspondent, Stephen Jones, joins Eoin Toolan and Murray Kinsella to preview this Saturday's showdown in Dublin.

Stephen waxes lyrical about Andy Farrell's Ireland team and declares them the best Irish side ever as he says England would do well to keep their losing margin to less than 20 points this weekend.

The lads dig into what went wrong for England against France last weekend, with Eoin delivering cutting analysis on the lack of clarity and execution in the English game.

There's also talk of the great Johnny Sexton's last Six Nations game, James Lowe's rise to world-class level and why Farrell's men should be able to seal the Grand Slam.

Murray Kinsella and Bernard Jackman join Gavan Casey to dissect one of the great Irish victories -- and one of the most bizarre games in recent memory. 'Berch' felt the game was lost when both Dan Sheehan and Rónan Kelleher were struck down, so just how did Ireland wind up winning it so convincingly?

And how did Scotland manage to pass up such a golden opportunity for a landmark win?Plus: Steve Borthwick's England fell foul of 'The David Clifford of rugby', Antoine Dupont, and one of the best French performances in the Six Nations era.

The lads assess both side's markedly different levels of performance and the challenge England will still pose to Ireland in next weekend's Slam decider.

And Italy paid the price for thinking they automatically had the beating of Wales, but Berch reckons Warren Gatland's men haven't turned a corner even in avoiding the spoon in Rome.
