Ben, Charlie and Charles look ahead to the penultimate round of Six Nations action with three mouth-watering encounters taking place this weekend.

England have welcomed Marcus Smith back into their extended squad after the fly-half was released by Steve Borthwick and told to go and prove himself. In Harlequins' hammering of Exeter, he did just that! We discuss what the performance means for Smith's future and also hear from his club team-mate Danny Care.

Elsewhere, we speak to Italy captain Michele Lamaro ahead of the Azzurri's clash with Wales. He talks about the evolution of the side under Kieran Crowley and the rare prospect of preparing for a Six Nations clash as favourites.

We also get stuck into your questions including 'what is a forward pass in the modern game?' after a number of confusing decisions across the weekend's action.
